Brent Jindra, a tech salesman, voted for President Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife.

You know what?

Good. If that’s what it takes for him to understand that he’s a shitgoblin for voting for this, well… that’s what it takes.

    Just a shame his wife was sent to the camps for it.

    I don’t feel that bad for those women. Like you might have felt bad for Erika Kirk having to be attached to Chuck and the you realized that she was there by choice and is also shitty. Men who vote for Trump need to be lonely.

    In her first interview, Erika Kirk came out and said "The hardest thing for me is going to bed and him not being there"

    And I felt genuine sympathy and pity for her, I know what loss feels like.

    The interviewer asked about losing sleep, and her face completely changed and she said "oh the Lord lets me sleep all right".

    And my sympathy evaporated.

    Is this what they're calling Xanex these days?

    Lord Xanex, who art in the clouds,
    Hallowed be thy Name.
    Thy link pull through,
    Thy chill come to,
    On earth as it is in the clouds.
    Give us this day our daily high
    And give us our floaty feelings
    As we forget those who trespass against us.
    And lead us not into anxiety
    But deliver us from worries

    That will almost certainly not be the lesson these types of people take away from such events, unfortunately. They still want to hurt others, often, and are just upset they somehow got taken out of the in-group and hurt.
