...is that for every person like Leach, for every business owner who's shuttered because of ICE Barbie's raids, WE are all paying the price AS WELL.

The media's going to do this "human interest" angle on Trump voters who got screwed, but the reality is that unless you're a millionaire or a tech broligarch like Musk, Thiel, Bezos, Zuckerberg, this is not a story of God-fearin', freedom-lovin' old folks who can no longer walk to their local clinic.

They are a SEGMENT of society, and we are going through it because of THEIR VOTE, but I want to see MORE STORIES about Americans who DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP and are getting screwed JUST AS SEVERELY as those poor, sad, old MAGAts.
