"I didn't vote for this"

Yes... you literally did vote for this.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

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

Oh no Trump took away my buisness with his economic policies. At least I can rest easy knowing that we're legislating child genitals

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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!"

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

That's sounds roughly equivalent to "structuring" in the money laundering industry.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago

It’s safe to say he’s not owning any business anymore

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 Libertarians are just republiQans who don’t want to take responsibility for republiQans.

But he owned the libs, right?

Owned himself to own the libs. Good work, buddy, you sure showed 'em. 🙄

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.

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 -
