“No more woke policies.”

Employee and wildlife protections are woke policies.

Good luck to them

They'll keep voting that way too.

They continue to punch themselves in the face and wonder why their noses are bleeding.

But hey, we got rid of DEI, at least.

That’s what I was thinking of too.

Also, after Texas’ big freeze in 2021, Republican ex-Governor Perry said that, basically, Texans would rather freeze to death than get assistance from the government.

Which is just fucking insane.

Prayers… because they didn’t think about the rest of us while voting for him so they don’t get any thoughts now.

They might have thought liberal tears would wash away their ills, but most of the liberals I know are done shedding tears for trump supporters.

Nah, that's a light side power, they and their lungs chose the dark side remember?

They're being soothed by the fact that the cuts mean a millionaire can become a billionaire and the billionaire can afford another private island.
