It's the loss of a way of life, possibly the only lifestyle they've ever known. Some are losing property that has been in their family for generations. It's not viewed as a loss, it's viewed as failure. So sad, and even though many of them voted for the orange shitgibbon, not all of them did.

Thanks for sharing this, pants.
