the world is slowly healing
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
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.
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.
Been saying, we need to stop talking about Trump and point fingers at the GOP, GOP, GOP did this.
Groomers On Parade? Group of Pedophiles? What is the GOP really?
The very wealthy who back campaigns did this. It isn’t any specific party. We need to address our wealth problem.
I feel bad for those who didn’t vote for him.
“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.
“Something is eating my face but it’s definitely not the leopard I voted for, it’s all business as usual!”
“excuse me i voted for leopards in bowties and i clearly see no bowtie on the leopard eating my face”

There’s a reason hospitals get bigger and bigger. Economics drive scale and communities that cannot drive scale will fall behind regardless what the government does.
And that is precisely why we have a government that provides essential services. We don’t want a government that runs like a business that runs like what you just talked about.
This is incredibly obvious if you ask what the most efficient government setup would be. Quite clearly, the most efficient setup is to not exist at all, because then there’s no overhead. And of course you provide no services but it comes at no expense… That’s what you were driving at, but I think almost no voters in the US actually agree with your stance. But they might describe things just like you did perhaps unaware that they are fooling themselves or others or both.
This is a product of healthcare being treated as a for-profit endeavour. Small healthcare facilities shouldn’t need to be profitable (neither should large ones, but as you highlight, economics of scale means that larger facilities do better financially).
The government does have the power to change this, but it would require recalibrating to recognise healthcare as a basic human right
Every rural community is a temporarily embarassed metropolis.
No, it’s these equity firms buying up hospitals, giving loans to themselves, and then bankrupting them.
Which ones that were bought by private equity ended-up going bankrupt? Do you have specific examples?
The world’s smallest violin would play for them, but it doesn’t give a fuck either.
Have the day you voted for, idiots.
At least there is SOME heartwarming news popping up.
This is tragic not heartwarming. Yes they brought this upon themselves but let us not celebrate the suffering of others.
Sorry, the vote for celebrating the suffering of others passed by 74 percentage points
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.
Having a day they voted for.
Have the day you voted for.
Somehow the people in that town need to get this message, but I fear they wont hear a word of it on any of the media they consume.
74-point margin
Why not just say 86% Trump? Much easier.
(Harris 13 %, others 1 %, as per Frontier County results of 1413 votes)That 1% be RFK
Since RFK dropped out, it’s Oliver (7), West (4) and Stein (1).
Edit: fired up a VPN and accessed official results
The fact that 200 people out in the boonies voted for Harris is so shocking I’d actually believe they couldn’t read and voted wrong before I believed they actually voted for a woman of color.
I hate this. It’s so needlessly divisive. There are allies everywhere. Stop writing them off because you’re bigoted against them. There’s all kinds of people in every area. Sure, rural people tend to be more conservative, because they live in isolated areas without exposure to new ideas. They aren’t all this way though. Be welcoming of anyone you can find who agrees with you. These people are far more valuable than almost anywhere else.
It’s the inverse of the psychotic belief that cities are terrifying places where people are getting stabbed or shot in the streets on a constant basis
I’m assuming, based off of absolutely nothing, that it’s probably mostly young people. Especially young women.
Keep in mind that voting is secret (as of 2025). For example, a woman can wear a MAGA hat and put the cross next to Harris unless her husband is so controlling to the point of it being illegal.
You suck. You need to re-evaluate a lot of life decisions.
I need to move out of Nebraska.
The irony of someone assuming (or, might I say, prejudging) that people are prejudiced re race/sex based on where they live was definitely not lost on me.
It’s only shocking to you because you’re a bigot.
Keep touching that hot stove!
Those damn leopards. Cover your face! It was all a lie!
So x + (x+74) = 100 which means 2x = 26 -> x = 13
They voted non-Trump 13% and Trump 87%?
I wish they’d just given the % instead of this metric smh
87 - 13 = 74, so yeah
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.
I swear they had an issue with police abusing their power as well
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.
“See I was right all the time!” Isn’t the deprogramming many think it is. But smarter people probably know how to do it. Then again I bet it includes things like free education so good luck with that.
I have never been envious of the USA but nowadays it’s even less.
Take a look at some of the footage from Bernie’s Fight the Oligarchy tour. “I told ya so” is not his approach at all.
That would be useful. And it’s not going to happen.
It does happen and it turns out as expected: when explained in person and not by Fox News, Trump voters actually agree with Sanders.
And then they turn around and vote R anyway
When we fail to organize them, that does make sense.
