'Apparently I’m an idiot’: Three-time Trump voter in Pennsylvania sounds off on Iran war (infosec.pub)

Via NBC:

Amanda Robbins is angry about the war with Iran. She’s angry about the price of gas.

But mostly, the 35-year-old resident of Millersburg, Pennsylvania, is mad at herself for backing President Donald Trump at the ballot box. Not once, not twice. “Three times,” Robbins said while she fueled up at the Penn Jersey Mart here.

“That was my bad. Apparently, I’m an idiot.” Robbins was so fed up that she used an expletive to describe the president: “a worthless pile of s---.”

Yeah, killing brown people is okay for me, but when it affects me, when I have to pay more for gas? Well that's just un-fucking-accceptable!

Elon Musk stated that "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy".

Look who is using emotion to hold back progress... /s

Sounds like somebody needs some empathy upside the back of the head.

Some empathy at 3000 fps aught to do it.

Like, unironically yes this. And they will say it out loud too. Have been in many arguments and you can literally boil most of it down to “it doesn’t affect me? I don’t care” for the majority of people. Selfishness at an insane level.
