Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

MODERATORS
it'll never cease to be hilariously ironic that conservatives love to call others naïve, as they themselves fail to realize that people will tell blatant lies in order to get votes
It's all projection. Poorly educated people cannot comprehend that people smarter than them exist.
Anyone who think they are smarter must be an idiot and must be more naive than a them to believe they are actually smarter.

And I bet they'll do it again in ten years when the next swindler comes along telling them lies.

Yea fuck this man sideways.
These idiots really don't understand how it works, do they? "trans the kids"
nobody was transing the kids, idiot Austin. That's not how anything worked.
Honestly the best response to that kind of thing is just "lol based" completely short-circuits them
"Easy there snowflake. Did you forget to take your testosterone booster today? You out here crying like a pussy ass lib."

Haha what a sad hateful bitter fuck. May he find out more
Oh no Trump took away my buisness with his economic policies. At least I can rest easy knowing that we're legislating child genitals
I didn't vote for this
Didn't you know what you were voting for?
Yes.
Well, he's a liar, an idiot, or both. I'm going with both.
Rofl he doubled down????
They have to. Their world view is so fragile that accepting they're wrong about even the smallest thing risks shattering the whole.

people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare. now they get neither
It's a genuine mistake (/s), they thought that pro-business/anti-regulations would help their small business.
As with everything, they lied. It's about billionaires making more billions, at the expense of EVERYONE else - workers, but also other businesses. I'm convinced that all the rest, including the racism, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and overall bigotry are just tools to convince people to act against their own interests.
They didn't even lie. They said this is what they were going to do. He chose to believe that plan would only hurt people he disliked.

Notice that they voted for "Trump" but that it's "government" that damaged their business. Curious.
The de minimus exemption was never meant to be used as a loophole by any business, big or small. He's basically admitting tax fraud. "I bought lots of sub $800 orders to avoid paying taxes and it's the only thing that kept me profitable!"
That's sounds roughly equivalent to "structuring" in the money laundering industry.
Look, he voted for Trump too. Clearly the guy doesn't think anything through or even have good ideas.

Well it's safe to say someone got owned
It’s safe to say he’s not owning any business anymore
Literally everyone warned you. Everyone.
But you wanted to "own the libs" so those leopards you let brainwash and manipulate you are now feasting on faces.
Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don’t care about other people and you choose to put people who also don’t care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don’t care about you or your friends or your family.
Conservatives don’t understand that “them” and “us” are actually all just us.
No more DEI, no more LGBTQ. You losing your business was totally worth it right? Thats what you voted for.

I actually really like seeing these.
You dumbs fucks did this to yourselves, the unfortunate part is that they were not smart enough to understand what was really happening and what was going to happen.
The unfortunate part is all the misery they will cause for the good people (and I don't mean one political party or another).
The enshittification of the world (which has been happening for a while) is picking up speed because of these dumb fucks.

All I ever want to say to these people is: YOU DUMB FUCK. YOU STUPID GODDAMN FUCK. YOU SCREWED US ALL WITH YOUR STUPIDITY.

And he will never ever actually try to find or figure out the answer to his own question, just wait to be told what to think

If you thought Trump was ever going to help you or keep his word on anything, you are just aggressively, ferociously stupid. You knew EXACTLY what he was and was warned 1000 times what he was. You got told.
Aww, thoughts and prayers...idiot.
You get exactly what you fucking deserve you stain on humanity. I pray you starve to death in the streets so everyone can see what your malicious selfishness has earned you.
Edit: downvote all you want, these monsters only understand empathy as applied to them, their continued living does nothing for humanity - their messy, miserable, self inflicted death for all to see might actually teach some people something.
From another post, in case you think my initial assessment too harsh -
I will never get tired of seeing posts here
