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.

Greed and hatred motivated them into casting the ballot, and look at what they got.

He didn't get shot in the head and left to bleed out, so what's his fucking problem?

Serves them right. I wonder how many small businesses and farmers have gone under and how much of that business has been snatched up by large corporations.

That can't be accurate. Certainly he is being mocked offline as well.

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.

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

no bail outs. no support.

They voted GOP to hurt others, then get upset they were caught in the cross fire and when looking for empathy are shunned

There a word for that /s

These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

  1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

  2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

  3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

  4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

  5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Typical reaction, get mad when they can't have it both ways in their benefit while watching others suffer. Fuck that guy.
