“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.

i didn’t say the officer was perfect, or even good

I was exaggerating.

i didn’t say you should tell him what he wants to hear

Ok, what you honestly believe then.

i didn’t say if he murdered anyone, it would be anyone’s fault

Your entire argument is that the victim is responsible for his own murder if he says the wrong thing to the pig. Just like some bootlicker saying Renee Good deserved it.

you’re so focused on being right that you can’t see how wrong you are about pretty much everything you write.

Sorry I can't be a cop or a bigot and therefore worthy of your compassion.

Somehow cops who kill black people for fun are needed to be listened to more than the people who want them arrested for murder.

But we're the unreasonable ones. My God the DNC bootlickers will really listen to anyone to the right of Reagan.
