“This is what I voted for?”: Trump supporter loses farm and income to tariffs, only to be mocked online (wtfdetective.blog)

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.

If I could laugh harder, I would.

Ain't that a fucking shame, not! The MAGA loser can piss directly into the wind.

If you want to defeat fascism we need solidarity across the working class.

Bullying right wingers who are suffering flies in the face of that. It only sows further division.

Yes, they were wrong, they voted for fascisn, I get the hate, but we need to find compassion for these people to get them back onboard.

Bullying them just causes them to lash out, get more entrenched, and discourage people from admitting they've been duped.

If you really so desperately need to feel superior to them that you can't hold back your righteous anger to actually make the world a better place, you're a part of the problem too.

There's nothing left to salvage.

Edit: in this guy's defense, he did post this in December: https://xcancel.com/smalls2672/status/2005433402485616792

But I would still never trust this guy with running a lemonade stand after what he did.
