A small business owner who voted for Donald Trump recently posted a video on TikTok, pleading for help as crushing tariffs on China threatened to bankrupt his operation, which imports alloy wheels. His call for support, however, drew little sympathy from some fellow Americans.
“Votes have consequences,” he was told, with many comments from Twitter/X users relishing the notion that another MAGA voter was suffering because of their political choice. The backlash prompted a second video from the man, in which he dropped several F-bombs while criticizing the apparent heartlessness of those celebrating his hardship.
He voted for him twice and says would vote a third time. What a pathetic piece of shit.
Its not a sports team, and people like this don’t understand that you don’t just vote one way because its the team you cheer for. Vote for what affects your life in the most positive way.
This dumb ass got what he deserves.
I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but I do disagree with your reasoning
Personally I don’t vote for what affects my life in the most positive way, because that seems a little selfish although it’s understandable.
I vote for what I believe affects everyone’s life more positively, even if it’s not necessarily a benefit to my specific situation. I might not be gay but I would vote for the candidate who supports gay marriage vs the one that might give me a $1000 check for tariff profits.
You vote for the greater good
…pathetic piece of terminally stupid shit.
But we have to listen to him because he’s where centrists want the party to be.
It is very hard to feel pity for people who only feel pity for themselves, and never for others.
He can get a job as a picker on another farm. Maybe one owned by a big corporation. Maybe his own former farm once it’s sold. They are freeing up work conventionally done by imigrant workers, right? Hard work pays off under conservatives, right?
You mean the megacorp farm that actually got $ from the government… Plus tax cuts, and sweetheart trade deals with favored foreign countries? One of those?
They are in the process of lining up the layoffs as soon as those new androids roll off the assembly line.
He should be mocked and ridiculed until it penetrates his tiny brain that he is part of the problem and he is getting what he deserves.
Critical thinking? In this world???
Are they being mocked, or are people just pointing out the reality of the situation?
well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions
I mean, I haven’t read anything specific to this case but knowing the internet and knowing how people treat others regarding “leopards eating faces”
It’s almost guaranteed they were being mocked.
Yes
to everyone in America who is suffering, I feel you you, unless they were MAGA, in which case eat shit you garbage of a human being
On one hand he voted exactly for this.
On the other hand, he is a worker that was systematically exploited to be less educated about political affairs and then exploited further by having his work taken from him.
It’s shitty that people relish in the suffering of another but it only takes a room temp IQ to have realized Trump was a con man in 2016. It took even less intelligence to realize Trump was unfit to lead in 2020. Voting for him post Jan 6th? You’re a fucking traitor.
This needs to be on every billboard around the country.
It doesn’t take much education to know what a lying, fascist sack of shit Trump is.
With cleverer, more sneaky politicians, I might pity the man who didn’t know. Not with this one. All the morons who voted for Trump knew exactly what they were doing.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. These people are both stupid and so propagandized so as to be effectively cult members, nothing will change until the propaganda sources are annihilated and their economic backers hanged, butchered, and burned to ash.
I’m always torn between accusing people of willful delusion, and sympathy for the difficulty of breaking out of a cult you’re culturally incentivized towards. I genuinely think that if the ‘Left’ had the funding the ‘Right’ does, this wouldn’t even be a contest. But one side is playing with a crazy big handicap, and we know from history exactly the kinda of culture that leads to. Discourage critical thinking, and you will find yourself with less and less critical thinkers around you.
On the one hand, he’s a fascist. On the other hand, HE’S A FASCIST.
Well on the one hand, he IS a fascist, but on the other hand, he’s ALSO a pedophile!
He’s still a shitty person because he likely voted for the horrible things Trump would do.
This is the right take here. I’m sure without all the propaganda far less people would support Trump.
schadenfreude
Well 0 fucks given. Anyone Saying this wasn’t told to them a million times doing the election are either fucking stupid and shouldn’t vote, or clearly living in a fucking vacuum on Fox planet.
i had to eat notebook paper as a child, suffer beatings, and survive homelessness. pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get good, i guess?
Is there any reason to believe that he wouldn’t vote for him a 3rd time?
no, because he will if he has the opportunity
No, but democrats will pretend to believe he might if it means they get to move to the right.
“I’ve got far left leaning friends” sure pal. That has, “I have a black friend so I can’t be racist” vibes. Have the day you voted for.
Wheelhead got exactly what he voted for. And Republicans have the answer: grab those bootstraps.
Yes.
