This one's borderline but this line got me:

“You see in the comments of my videos people saying, ‘If you voted for Trump, you deserve this.’ It's not anybody's business who I voted for, but I did not vote for Trump. I am in a farm family and farmers typically are Republican,” she said. “However, as a 10-year Army veteran, I see the president of our country as our Commander-in-Chief. Whether I voted for him or not, it doesn't matter. He is the leader of our country. I may not agree, but I'm not out here saying that Trump is screwing up my business. I'm not going to do that.”

Just so close to understanding, yet so far away with denial.

She's also started a go fund me apparently.

Denies she voted for Trump but yet still supports Trump after getting fucked over by Trump. Deserves everything that's coming to her.

I served my country too, but that doesn't mean I have to blindly respect the position of the presidency when the fucking guy doesn't respect it himself. And I'm not going to respect anyone just because of their position even if it's the fucking presidency.

Have to respect the office even when it's occupied by a convict. The mental gymnastics people perform...

So many vets take away the wrong thing from their service to supposedly this country. Fucking pathetic.

Typical BS. Being called a "local business" when all the product comes from China.

Trump supporter who didn't vote in the election wants sympathy for also being too lazy/apathetic to bother to vote for him. That actually puts her half a rung higher on my sympathy scale than trump opponents who could have voted for Harris to stop him but didn't.
