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.

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.

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.

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.

They do, its the " all powerful, but super weak" rhetoric that fascism relies on

Patrihits advertises his fantasy sports gambling in his tiktok. I am making fun of the grifting.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh. Can't give you points for clarity, but ok then.

I think they need to actually see the consequences of their actions and understand the cause

no bail outs. no support.
