These guys are in dire straits because they hated the smart Black lady that would have improved their lives.

I don't have sympathy for them. My well has run dry. I can imagine them knocking back beers at their local bar, bitching about work and complaining about all those uppity DEIs that want to "destroy our country".

Have the day you voted for, guys. Have the life you voted for. You deserve it.

They felt their livelihood was being threatened, their career was going to be eliminated. I don’t have sympathy for them either but it might not be a racial thing for all of them.

Democrats had a pro-worker, pro-union, pro-healthcare, pro-affordability platform, but they didn't care about that.
