This got reported as "not LAMF" on the grounds that this person voted for lower grocery prices and got higher ones. This is an understandable argument, because just getting tricked on its own (even if you're unbelievably stupid to think that things like illegal tariffs and deregulation wouldn't do this) is not LAMF.

So let me explain why I kept the post up and still think it fits: she expressly voted for somebody who promised to cut programs like SNAP which make Thanksgivings affordable for millions of people. She expressly wanted these people hurt – to have their Thanksgivings ruined – because to her, they didn't deserve it.

"I never thought the leopards would make groceries unaffordable for me!"

Edit: That said, @bytesonbike@discuss.online, please add alt text to your image or a transcription in the post body for accessibility in accordance with Rule 4.

Of course it is. Also, you knew better, but you did it anyway.

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 86 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She didn't knew better because she is dumb though.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I bet someone she knows explained it to her, but rather than let herself be convinced, she doubled down.

[–] Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely. She 100% heard the explanation and ignored it because "that's just lies against my big beautiful president," and went on her way. I literally just went through it with my Trump voting uncle. I went through what he did that has directly hurt him. The response? I watch too much news.

Biggest fight I ever "started" with them was... Asking what specifically about Trump 1's tax policy benefit them. I mean I know that I asked it because I knew that they didn't make nearly enough to actually see a single cent of a tax cut from that round in 2017. But apparently his wife really didn't appreciate my asking about it because all I got in response was "Doesn't matter, still voting for him" after she specifically brought up taxes as the reason again mind you. I just asked her what specific benefit they got from his tax cuts. But I heard from my Mom that apparently I made that aunt really mad.

So mad in fact I have literally never seen her since actually come to think of it. They divorced not long after that, she moved to PA and is a fucking gay rights conservative which is fucking wild.

Your uncle?

This is what you call Oppositional Defiance Disorder, plus also being in a death cult.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/oppositional-defiant-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20375831

Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness.

These emotional and behavioral issues cause serious problems with family life, social activities, school and work. But as a parent, you don't have to try to manage a child with ODD alone. Your health care provider, a mental health professional and a child development expert can help.

These are adults with an adult version of a pathological vindictiveness that is generally seen in 'problem children'.

They literally are whiny, pissy, adult toddlers.

I'd be curious to find out what all of these "this is not what I voted for" people thought they were actually voting for and why they thought that

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 76 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

They thought abusing brown people would magically fix all the things they told were bad like universal healthcare, feeding children, and safety regulations.

They actually thought things would be cheaper with tariffs because Trump said so. They are hateful morons.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 7 points 2 months ago

They are not even thinking that deep. They just think handing assholes with power even more power is how to create more prosperity.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 months ago

They were voting for racism

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They voted for things getting cheaper. And not believing that politicians can just make shit up and getting away with it

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it wasn't just about racism. Sure there are Republicans that are racist but there's still a good percentage of Liberals that are racist too. I think the facts of the matter do indeed matter, and unfortunately that comes with a plethora of misinformation and campaigns designed to target underprivileged voters. Low literacy rates will also exacerbate the divide. I'm so tired of this tirade that because "XYZ" people can't be treated with human decency. I still believe Republicans deserve a good life, as well as immigrants, poor people, and Democrats. Thats literally the point of leftism is to practise distribution of goods on a need basis instead of on merit.

Is this one of those Russian/Chinese/Nigerian astroturfing accounts?

[–] radix@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Those would have reported a 30% decrease in cost for a larger meal, and had their entire bot army retweet it to viral levels. They won't let reality get in the way of the gaslighting their overlords demand.

"this is NOT what I thought I voted for when I knowingly voted to be taxed on all foreign food and to lock up the people picking domestic food" ...Well, then what did you think you were voting for?

$300 for one meal? How many people is she feeding??

Kroger

Oh, so like 5.

Aldi forever. No, it is not the same company as Trader Joe’s if you’re wanting to talk about union busting. I say this because it happens every time.

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Dude, we got an Aldi in my town, and I love it. Sure some of the stuff is different, and even has a tad different flavor....but I almost always feel my heart aching with relief when I see how much we get from Aldi with such low prices. My food stamps go so much further there. Thst place is a blessing to me and my family.

No - actually that's exactly what you voted for - you're just too stupid and/or lazy and/or blinded by hate to realize that, or too dishonest to admit it.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (6 children)

This tweet is essentially:

You promised to lower prices, but prices went up, this is NOT what I voted for.

For it to be LAMF, you have to actually get what you're expecting others to get. The person you voted for NOT doing what they promised to do is literally the opposite of LAMF.

Basically:

I voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party, I never thought they'd...wait, they're not eating anyone's faces

is the equivalent of the situation happening here.

Not LAMF.

Bitch you voted for tariffs! Every expert said that would raise prices, but you refused to listen to experts! This is what you fucking get! Why did you have to drag us down with you!?

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 16 points 2 months ago

This is what you voted for. You were just not listening.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Well gosh, I feel sad that you had absolutely no warning that something like this could happen.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

She voted for the racism. Not the taxes.

Oops, you said bad things about Dear Leader. Elmo will be suspending you soon for lying about patriotism, and the DOJ is preparing terrorism charges.

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (10 children)

I feel like some of the people here should consider why we all know she would vote the same way if an election was held immediately after making this post.

They are getting something that they desire more than lower grocery costs or anything sane things any sane person would value.

They are getting to hurt marginalized people with their votes.

This is their single voter issue, and its the reason why no matter how much they've shot themselves in the foot, they'll buy that 500 dollar advil their insurance denied coverage for and load up another shell.

They don't evaluate politicians based on if they're happy. They evaluate politicians based on if who they hate feel sad.

Reality is the president doesn't, or more accurately, shouldn't control the economy.

...Perhaps utterly worshipping one man was not the best idea? As history has repeatedly shown?

A con man conned you and bankrupted the country that’s exactly what you voted for 3 times

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Fun Fact, since executive orders really only apply to the operations of the federal government and its employees, the Tariffs aren't actually legal.

Big shipping magnates and importers could probably sue the federal government over any attempt to enforce the tariff, ignoring them all the while.

Mr. President, this is NOT what I voted for.

"Karma is an ancient Indian concept that refers to an action, work, or deed, and its effect or consequences.... [It's] often descriptively called the principle of karma, wherein individuals' intent and actions (cause) influence their future "

In the Bible it sez something like "As you vote, so shall you reap!"

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Mr. President, this is NOT what I voted for.

Yes it is. This is exactly what you voted for. Trump 1 told you exactly how Trump 2 was going to go. We're all eating shit, but I am happy your shit sandwich is slightly more unpalatable to you.
