"I liked his policies, mainly his support for education and affordable housing, said Shirley Wong, 70, of Bensonhurst, referring to Mamdani. “He seems to listen to us.”

But less than a year ago, Wong cast her ballot for Trump. She cited the influx of migrants in her neighborhood, as well as the cost of living under President Joe Biden. But now, Wong said she regretted voting for Trump, citing the Big Beautiful Bill’s projected cuts to Medicaid

      She didnt do that though. She voted for a cunt promising to cut shit she needed and then didnt change her mind until the exact thing she needs was cut. Thats not really learning in the way you need to learn to have a functioning society. Its still narcissism and individualism.

        Trump promised he wouldn’t cut Medicaid. The thing you should fault her with is that she still didn’t get that Trump lies about everything after demonstrating that for his entire public life and an entire presidential administration.

        maybe my standards are just lower now because I still see idiots cheering trump as he is literally killing them and stealing their money so long as they think he is “owning the libs”

      Did she? She voted based on racism. Nothing she’s complaining about suggests she shifted on that.
