the world is slowly healing

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Why? Nobody in Curtis will get this message. It'll just remain in our own little leftist pockets. Everybody left any social media sites that this could have been posted to. If any leftists are left in Curtis they'll probably post something like "harharhar you stupid MAGA racist facist idiots. FAFO". There's no healing. No bridges being built.

So no way the world is healing. It's dying, slowly dying.

If the MAGA part of the world dies, I won't weep for their loss

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's because they're blaming trump for it instead of listening to fox news bullshit about how it's all dems fault. They seem to be learning.

But the real trick will be to see if they keep voting R in the future...

dying can be a part of healing

Looks like this town takes the separation of church and State very seriously.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 63 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's not just Trump.

The GOP could stop all of this tomorrow.

That needs to be hammered into their stupid skulls until it sticks.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Been saying, we need to stop talking about Trump and point fingers at the GOP, GOP, GOP did this.

[–] reddifuge@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Groomers On Parade? Group of Pedophiles? What is the GOP really?

"They blame Trump"

No, they didn't. The medical facility didn't blame trump, the article didn't blame trump, and there's no proof that any of the citizens blame trump.

This is actually what the article says:

Curtis Medical Center to close after 30 years, citing inflation and uncertain federal funding

And then, later in the article it mentions how there's supposedly $50 billion coming from the feds to assist rural providers, and how disappointing it is that they've made this decision before the federal aid has been finalized.

This is being portrayed as a business decision to close this town's only healthcare facility. Anyone reading the article would have to believe that trump has anything to do with inflation or cutting funding, and a community that has over 85% of their people voting for trump doesn't believe that.

I feel bad for those who didn't vote for him.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 173 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Have the day you voted for.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

The world's smallest violin would play for them, but it doesn't give a fuck either.

Have the day you voted for, idiots.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 137 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (10 children)

74-point margin

Why not just say 86% Trump? Much easier.
(Harris 13 %, others 1 %, as per Frontier County results of 1413 votes)

At least there is SOME heartwarming news popping up.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is tragic not heartwarming. Yes they brought this upon themselves but let us not celebrate the suffering of others.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry, the vote for celebrating the suffering of others passed by 74 percentage points

[–] grindemup@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Let's not forget about those who didn't vote for Trump, not least of which the children of this town. Their suffering is tragic.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Having a day they voted for.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 74 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is the second time that I've heard of this place.

The first time, it was a story about how the community was struggling to keep their young from leaving, and having a hard time attracting new people to move there.

No one wants to stay, and no one wants to move into a community crawling with awful people.

This looks so, so good on them.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

So x + (x+74) = 100 which means 2x = 26 -> x = 13

They voted non-Trump 13% and Trump 87%?

[–] Scolding7300@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I wish they'd just given the % instead of this metric smh

Honestly, while I am also enjoying the schadenfreude, this seems like a prime opportunity for leftists to do some de-radicalizing. Bernie should head out there and talk to folks.

Really at this point, ZFG. I feel bad for the people that didn't vote for this shit show who will suffer because of this. How many will die en route to the next closest facility. ALL their deaths will be on Trump and his supporters who will not be given a free pass or mulligan.

Man, I never get what I vote for. I am so jealous of them!

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

A big effect of comming ACA premium changes, is instead of paying $10k more per year, people dropping their insurance, using less medical care, until it is something major that results in their bankruptcy. People's mass medical related bankruptcies cause hospital bankruptcies/closures, as does less "routine" medical use.

[–] drcabbage@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Keep touching that hot stove!

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago (6 children)

I got $100 that they're blaming Democrats for the closure.

Remember when leftists took responsibility for things like this as a failure to organize the working class? Pepperidge Farms doesn’t remember either.

I think it's great when people get what they want. Congratulations to them.
