Another week, another group of Trump voters who supported him because he was going to hurt other people and are now sad to learn that they too will take a hit. This time around, its senior citizens living at the River Bend Resort and Golf Club in Brownsville, Texas, who are facing the prospect of Trumps border wall being built right through the middle of their community.
Fifteen holes of the golf course and 200 homes could be on the far side of the border wall, and residents worry that the key code-operated sliding gates in existing border barriers often malfunction. Youre fixing to fence 400 U.S. citizens behind a wall with a gate and most of them have medical problems, one man told The New York Times, saying that ambulances are needed at the complex at least three times a week. Our gate fails, somebodys going to die.
Oh, so now fencing people up and denying them medical care is a big problem?
Resident Susan Kaper said both that If theres a good purpose for having that wall cut right through our little community, I guess I would go along with it. But Ive yet to hear any reason why to do that, and that it would be silly to base her 2020 vote on the wall. No, really. Donald Trump declared a national emergency and took money from a power substation in Puerto Rico and multiple schools on military bases to get this thing built, and its going to go through the middle of her retirement resort, leaving hundreds of people outside the wall, but it would be silly to consider a little thing like that when voting.
Another man said, None of us at our age need the additional stress, but that doesnt mean he wont vote for Trump again in 2020.
