“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.

  • They don’t seem to understand that we aren’t enemies. They are Americans, just like we are Americans.

  • While republicans…made out with their sisters I guess?

Maybe mixed signals like these are just unclear to them (and people in general)?

And your reaction is another one that ignores reality. As I predicted, sigh.

If a person treats me like shit, I'm not going to invite them over for coffee, but neither do I hope their mom dies of cancer. That's just common sense. That's something everyone can understand, but only if they can get over their own ego.
