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.

That's exactly what you voted for. He literally told he'd do that. He's delivering exactly what he promised.

Not only was Trump open about it, but basically everyone who was not a fanatic warned them about it.

Yes, and that's a key issue in their dynamics. They care more about being against "the other" than whatever "the other" is saying. You warn me about putting my hand inside the metal grinder? Now I'll put my hand inside the grinder even harder!

And their reaction was "lol u mad, librul?" or even "the left-wing is censoring us!!1!"

He says "yes, i knew tariffs and shit was going to happen. I literally knew i was voting for this to happen to me and its all your fault"

"I was voting for all this bad stuff to happen to me but at least browns and queers are afraid again"

Far right voters don‘t actually listen to what politicians say. It sounds weird because they‘re so radicalized but they legitimately lack the ability to listen. Most of them don‘t even try.

And the idiot will vote for this again, because these people always just vote for the magic (R) next to each name on the ballot.
