My hubby and I are both on Social Security. I am a retired school teacher he is a retired mechanic. Its really a stetch to make money last through the week just for food. My daughter who is in her 30's struggles to pay her bills. Its just outrageous! And all they care about is the rich.

You are correct. They won't care till it hits them. I dare say alot of MAGA are on Medicaid At 69, I never thought we would we going thru this crap. The struggle is real and I will not give up or give in.

I'm a retired mechanic too and inherited a house. Without the house my wife and myself would be living in one of our old cars. Rent is ridiculous, let alone food and everything else.

Yes , they do not care about anyone but themselves. We the working or retired poor, mean nothing. We are a dime a dozen to them.

No she voted for Kamala. She has voted in every election for a Democrat.

What’s wrong with you Kevin? Why do you automatically assume that her daughter voted for Trump? And why would that mean she deserves to suffer for the choices made by billionaires?

It sounds like you live in a red state. The only ones I know who are bitching are Democrats, but I live in a blue state; none of the maga I know are bitching yet.

If I hear a maga, (family members), complaining, they blame Biden and his policies.

As a Cowboys fan, I hate to admit that you’re right 😀 I see your struggles and add….. “and my football team hasn’t been to or won a Super Bowl in 30 dang years.” It’s rough out here.

I'm sorry to hear this. It's a disgrace after working hard your entire life and contributing so much to American society. Not only does the duopoly have no respect for us, but they work as hard as they can to make our lives more difficult daily. Meanwhile Israelis have free healthcare and education.

And yet there are many people in your situation who still support maga! Continue to do what you’re doing: speak up, speak out, contribute and vote blue, every election top to bottom. Sweeping both houses in 2026 is our only way out of this madness
