A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Looks like I’m going to express an unpopular opinion. And I have a right to mine as you do yours. This truck driver didn’t actively choose to murder anyone. He made bad decision when he voted for Trump. That doesn’t make him responsible for everything happening in our society right now. It’s tragic.

Why should this guy be coddled and shielded from the consequences of casting a vote because he was “fascist curious”? Trump and Vance weren’t making any secret of the overt racism of the campaign. We could hear the dog whistles here in Canada. Do you excuse NSDAP voters in 1933 the same way?

He works 3 jobs & goes home to his recliner where he has maybe 3 hours of downtime before falling asleep to start it all over again. He wasn’t fascist curious, he was robbed of a life & made a poor choice due to being poorly informed. Do you really think he spent his downtime following politics?

Not the way I read it, but could be. I read it as he got his 1st job hauling garbage, his 2nd job doing cross-country & his 3rd job hauling concrete hardener on Mondays; his long day

come on dude it says 'the one he had now' probably works a 14 on Mondays and 8-10 on others

You are probably right. I blew right by the very 1st sentence
