39. They WERE tRump fans until he threatened their Social Security

They have had a very conservative group of seniors there for a long time. My friends moved there...yuk!

However, even old geezers get mad when you take away their Social Security and healthcare. Now tRump has succeeded in pissing off some of his most loyal supporters.

It's always like that...you never protest until it effects you and your life specifically.
