MODERATORS
 

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.

The division of agriculture labourers from city labourers might be one of the greatest and most effective psyops of all time.

That’s how I judge you, not who you voted for.

Lol .. except who you vote for says a lot of things about you. It tells people what your values are.

How can we support the people realizing their mistakes in voting Trump? Seriously. That's how we change hearts and minds.

I want to support them, and then together, I want to march with them against these assholes.

You are gonna be so shocked when those idiots lose everything, but then still vote GOP again, cause they are so much dumber than you could ever hope to understand.

Yeah, they'll probably blame left-wing liberals for what is happening right now.

By letting their lives burn down. Seriously. They won't learn a lesson if they get bailed out now. If they keep hurting, maybe they'll vote better next time.

More likely they'll vote Libertarian, aka Diet Republican, and pretend they did something worthwhile.

Democrats fail to fix things (on purpose) while Republicans actively worsen the nation. That's our only choices until the Democratic party gets massive reform (hopefully) when the old fuckers die.

At least he can get work occupying Greenland

Serves them right. I wonder how many small businesses and farmers have gone under and how much of that business has been snatched up by large corporations.

Greed and hatred motivated them into casting the ballot, and look at what they got.

It's like dealing with spoiled children. Actions have consequences, if you don't like those consequences, pull another Jan 6th.

Wheelhead got exactly what he voted for. And Republicans have the answer: grab those bootstraps.

Oh you want to talk about "heartlessness"? Give me a fucking break

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

The thing with that kind of mindset is that it doesn't propagate as within a population not driven by exceptionalism. They feel so special that they can point their fingers and rest assured they are different or would be safe, because they wouldn't commit a specific attributed mistake. Until it happens to them, but couldn't possibly happen to the rest, and again and again.

I will always laugh at and celebrate MAGA idiots learning the hard way
