Trump’s tariffs on Mexico would be devastating for Texas, leading to a loss of 370,000 jobs.

      Including all of those who voted like you wanted. They deserved it for being outnumbered, after all.

      Rejoicing in suffering like this is ghoulish.

        And that sucks for everyone who explicitly voted against this nonsense, but the simple fact of the matter is that many, many people didn’t care enough vote at all. Finding some schadenfreude in the latter’s upcoming woes, quite honestly, is a coping mechanism that ultimately causes no additional harm.

          But it makes you happy that they’re gonna suffer. Centrism manifest.

          Fuck do you want us to do about em.

          Democrats had four years, which they squandered. Now they’re gloating at people who were outnumbered.

    those 370,000 can fill some of the agriculture, construction and other jobs that will open up when the state’s ~ 1.5m ‘undocumented migrants’ (and i’m sure more than a fair number of documented, legal residents, too) are kicked out.
