until it actually impacts THEM.

When the guy two doors down is impacted - even though dude was a solid republican voter - they will say it is his fault, and have no sympathy. They will defend Trump until it is themselves that are hurting. Then they will find the guy two doors over the other direction, is looking at them the same way they looked at the first guy - it is their own fault.

None of these idiots will care until it hits them directly. This country will only have a chance to recover, when enough magats REALIZE they are hurting due to the actions of their erstwhile hero.
