87% of residents voted for Trump. They bragged about by extension low taxes, small government and against climate change. Guess who's begging Trump for help? Build a wall around their island community, they cry. As only they matter. No sympathy.

I have very little sympathy for people who live near the ocean. New Orleans for example. Perhaps not live in a place that you have to invest billions into levies just to keep from being 10 feet under water.
Anyway. Humans are part of nature. People say humans are causing the seas to rise. Thus, by the transitive property nature is causing the seas to rise. I'm not going to get worked up over nature. Sorry Miami beach.

People are easily manipulated. Perhaps some of them will see the error in their ways.
I can understand how some people voted for Trump. Especially the down and out even if they were completely duped. To think that the billionaire Mr. Ego was suddenly a man of the people is real stupidity but he did give them a voice even if it was a lie. I guess they felt they had nothing to lose.
Now, the rich elites who voted for Trump? That's where I have no sympathy. They voted out of their own greed and personal gain. I consider them 100x more responsible for Trump as President than I do some struggling family from the middle of the country.

they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get off the government teet, those poor snowflakes...
seriously, they voted for trump, let him save them. as cold hearted as that sounds, that is how i feel.
i had that same discussion with a person calling to raise money for vets the other day. every year i donate a couple hundred bucks to veteran charities. sometimes it is money i don't have to spend and end up putting it on the credit card. i make sacrifices to make that payment every year. this guy called me wanting to send me a pledge card to renew my donation and i declined for the first time since 2003. i told him that the majority of the military voted for trump, as did the majority of the disabled vets. trump said he has a terrific plan for them and said that he raised millions for them. let's see what trump can do for them. i am sitting this one out. the guy got an attitude with me, rightly so, but that is how i feel these days. they wanted trump, let him help them. i told the guy to call me next year and my thoughts may change by then. this year i am not putting myself out to help people who voted for someone who is incompetent and incapable of being president. if that makes me an asshole, then i will own it and i will wear it."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

It definitely is an odd place but it's not like voting for trump started this. I still feel bad for these people. Just because they voted for a candidate (at least they voted) doesn't give anyone the right to to wish their house under water.HesCalledDyer said:That place is fuckin weird.

I guess it really makes sense to feel badly for people on an individual basis. But in a more generalized sense, I find it very difficult for people who play Russian roulette, especially when 97% of the ballistics experts are telling them all cylinders are loaded.mcgruff10 said:

I have no sympathy for anyone who voted for Trump, particularly when you consider the power and influence America wields over the rest of the world.

True, but I'm guessing most of them will get screwed on other issues besides environment. You will likely see more "No Sympathy" threads related to that as well.mcgruff10 said:

Let's face it, a very small percentage of people will have their lives improved by this administration and many will suffer some bad consequences. At least fewer than would have under almost any other. I wasn't/ am not a Hillary fan but most people and the planet would have been better off under her (and even more under... but I digress...)

Maybe not so very many people, but those people on that island - they should have. Their homes, their livelihood, their history; it's all at risk. Maybe they should have looked a little harder at their candidate.mcgruff10 said:

A proposed seawall to be completed this year. The article doesn't mention who is building it or paying for it....where does Trump come in?Oh please let it rain today.

Clinton won our state, but there were a few areas that went with Trump. The area I live in did as well, unfortunately. I still don't understand why the working class in this area votes Republican. We've had a few businesses that employed hundreds, if not thousands with private owners sell to increase their own profit margins. All any Republican has to say are keywords including guns, immigration reform and jobs and people buy it hook, line and sinker. Sad."It's best to live in grace before you're forced to."
