I think the crux of this story is the delusions of MAGA. I don't think this woman is some actress. I believe her story, and i believe she is so deep in the cult of MAGA that she honestly believes not being taxed on her door dash pays her bills. That when she sits down at the end of the month, and has $10 more that month because of no taxes on tips, and she's trying to pay a $1000 cancer treatment bill, that somehow her mind convinces itself that drumpf has actually fixed all her problems, even as she puts another $990 on her credit card because she has only the $10 to pay on the $1000 bill.

And I think 1/3 of the country is just like her.

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar
