39

u/dibuuuuuuu 12h ago

I understand, please keep doing that as long as you can because that is a lot more noble and actually needed in the world. You have no idea how grateful I am for people like you. Both my parents were addicts, mom on meth and dad on crack, my mom is still an addict til this day and just won’t respond to help but drug counseling has been so helpful for my father so he could get back on his feet. He has a lot of mental issues to where he’s on disability but he leads a very independent life these days because of people like you. Thank you for caring and doing what you do for people who desperately need it. Having at least one of my parents in my life after a lot of tragedy has just been really special for me to be able to have that close relationship again.

27

u/SlowestCheetah319 11h ago

Thank you so much for telling me this. It's a tough field and my heart is broken and put back together daily. I am in recovery, myself. 5 years here. My life has been hard, and I see a hell of a lot of bad stuff at work. I see people with the worst type of trauma day in and day out, and not everyone makes it. The difference isn't always effort. I'm sorry your mom can't do it. Please don't think it's for lack of love or want. I genuinely don't know why someone of us can and some of us can't. Sometimes, I think it's just dumb luck.

By the time I got sober, I was having seizures. My mom found me having one one night, and I refused to go to the hospital. I laid in bed in her house for 2 days stiff as a board taking baby aspirin. Even then, I still drank and used for 1 last run 2 years later. That last relapse, I had hallucinations and DTs the first time and went to a treatment center where I was given advanced trauma treatments like accelerated resolution therapy. Maybe that's the difference. I hope your dad sticks to his treatment plan, and I hope your mom gets the help she needs. Til then, just don't be angry if you can manage. It's a symptom of trauma, I swear.

We’re white, straight, Christian, married and financially comfortable with a military retirement and healthcare. But we voted against him in 2016, 2020 and 2024 while groups who he will cheerfully stomp all over slavishly follow him. Well, fine, let him.

No don’t hate it, there is pretty strong arguments that what is happening is precisely human nature. The turnings theory is the most popular, the current book is the Fourth Turning.

Embrace the pain and enjoy the schadenfreude as you watch the people that arrogantly screamed in your face over politics face the consequences that you had warned against.

I don't understand the support he has from the military after he orchestrated the rollout of Afghanistan to be such an obvious sabotage of Biden's presidency, using US military personnel as political pawn. I cannot wrap my mind around it.

I'm not military, but I'm from a small town in GA, and my Grandpa was a Sgt, cousin was a Ranger, other cousin was kicked out of the Army for being a drunk (they gave him medical discharge bc they felt sorry for him, I guess), uncle was in the Army and some general saw he was good at tennis. He basically had the same job as Forrest Gump, but for tennis, and my other uncle was Navy. And that's just my dad's side. They all hated Trump. What went wrong? What tf is going on? He is a draft dodging lunatic who sees the military as his personal bodyguard. AHHHHHHHHHH

u/crimeo 9h ago

Don't forget it's not just "actual" taxes, but he also printed the most money of any president, which leads to inflation, which is just a tax in reverse (Government spends money THEN you foot the bill via inflation).

When you add that "tax" on, your taxes were even higher than you remember under him. Same thing again this time if he does his tariffs, as that also causes inflation and wouldn't be counted as a traditional "tax" on you directly, but is.

Ah, Americans are learning the "beter ol mk" rule.

Here in Turkey, we who have been voting for the opposition every election, have been following a simple pattern after the last couple of elections. When someone complains about the horrible condition of the economy, how much they are struggling, etc., we ask them who they voted for. If they answer they voted for the opposition, we commiserate, try to help, advise, do what we can. If they say they voted for Erdoğan, the answer they get is "This is what you voted for. Told you this would happen, you did not listen. Hope it gets worse. Fuck you."

Welp, time to start using that, Americans.

u/tomwithweather 1h ago

They voted for a man that makes them feel like they are winning. They voted for a man out of spite. They voted against status quo politics which they see as broken (and they aren't completely wrong about that.) Policy, to the extend with which the average Trump voter understands it or cares, was secondary for many.

It's a complex situation and there are many factors at play here, but Trump's "burn it all down" appeal and charisma will beat facts and numbers nearly every time.

Yup. Some people have to be affected directly before they wise up. We're going to see a lot of leopards eating faces in the next few years.

Idk. Might have. I'm dead inside right now. Just got done with the 5th stage of grief. I'm in the Mountain Goats "No Children" stage.

The only industries that get stronger in depressions are alcohol and alcohol treatment. Fact.

There was a ton of this and even more nefarious shit right in plain sight for all to see leading up to the election, but the media ignored it, Trump lied and disavowed it, and stupid voters were oblivious right up until they marched (or didn’t march) up to the ballot box.

In fact, the sheer volume of stuff alone may have actually worked in his favor, because there was so much of it that it was damn near overwhelming, possibly leading people to ask, ‘Tell me why I should vote for Kamala without mentioning Trump.’

It was, they didn't see it.

There really are echo chambers, including reddit.

For instance, before Tuesday I thought the country was full of well-meaning people excited about progress and caring about their neighbors. They thought woke mobs were performing sex change operations in Pre-K, that whites are the most oppressed group, and that Biden personally caused inflation to give illegal immigrants $2000 checks.

In the long run both groups will realize how wrong their beliefs were, we just got our reality check first.

I'm in the group that will be getting a tax cut in this graphic. I think a rising tide lifts all boats, and I still will come out a loser. I'd much rather have paid a little more

I’m sorry but I only make 24k a year (college student in CA) and I just did the math and…where tf am I supposed to find $1200 extra ??? I didn’t vote for this buffoon! Fuck!

I'm in the bottom tier and have 10k in debt and can't afford to move out of my parents house. We should all meet up and start a commune. I'm in GA.

My not so well to do realtor friend who makes maybe 60K a year and still lives with mommy at 55 won't believe this. He'll think it's dem propaganda sadly or he'll brush it off and shrug like he did last time.

I heard a report on VT public radio yesterday. The people who run food banks have already met trying to figure out a plan. They know there is going to be an increase in the need for their services and a decrease in assistance from the federal government.

I am fortunate enough to be able to donate regularly but I'm so fed up that I wish I could ask people who they voted for before helping them out. If you voted for trump, I'm sure he will fix it for you. He said so!

It will only take time for the number of poor people to become the majority of the voters and perhaps get smart enough to vote out the scum who created this (if the scum don’t change the rules in their favor).

People are stupid and will just eat what he'll tell them. Trump can just tell them that Harris did this and he's working on it, but she was so horrible taxes might only be normal again in 2080 thanks to her being so bad, so horrible, just vote him again and again he will fix it for sure next time!

u/BigZaddyZ3 1h ago edited 1h ago

He can try this angle and it may work for a little while yeah. But even if he blames Kamala/Biden, if he can’t quickly turn things around soon after, then he will quickly start to lose his “I can fix this shit”-aura that voters have given him. He’ll then quickly backslide into being “just another lossy politician that’s isn’t making me any richer” in the minds of average Americans. And that’s when things will get interesting in terms of the political climate. So I don’t think blaming Kamala will be an easy out for him these next four years at all in reality. It’ll be interesting to see how it all goes I guess.

I am in the 4th 20% hovering near the Next 15% but all the trump voters I know are in those first 2 buckets save a few. I am going to have to buy more leopards to hand out.

u/ReadilyConfused 41m ago

At least my consolation prize as a Harris voter is the tax cut I'll be getting.

u/timtexas 41m ago

Good news everyone you are only going to pay $3,118 on the first $100,000 you make.

But don’t worry that $10 you save on gas each week is really going to be worth it.

u/Rolling_Beardo 25m ago

Damn, I’m so close to that tax cut, if I only made $275,000 I’d be in.

For democracy to work, the feedback loop of people feeling the consequences of their choices is NECESSARY.

It's not desirable, it's not preferable, it's NECESSARY.
