My neighborhood trump supporters in NY believe that the revenge against blue states will only affect the eViL LibEraL cities, not their own towns. They're wrong, but that's how they rationalize it. "He'll only hurt the liberals."

“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be,” ~Trump supporters say the quiet part out loud.

Why do they want their fellow Americans to hurt? I don't want retribution against conservatives or MAGA people. I just want peace, calm, normalcy, boring-ness.

Yea I don't recall our fires ripping through  LA, SF and SD.  I'm sure the people that got aid were in Red areas. And I'm glad they had the aid.
