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.
Heartless shit upset that his vote to cause extreme hardship for others is actually causing hardship in his own life. Imagine throwing rocks at people and expecting sympathy when one bounces back and hits you in the face.
May you live in interesting times.May you live in the times you voted for.Its so hard for these people to understand that when you spew hate at others, whether through your actions, your words, or through your ballot, that people have less empathy for your than other people that might experience similar hardships and haven’t been spewing hate.
The whole comparison of “you laughed at Charlie thing, and now we’re laughing at ice killing” is so hard for these people to understand why most sane people view these deaths differently.
Person C spent his entire life spewing hate and saying some crazy shit that puts other people down, or in danger with his gun laws thinking, etc.
Person R was just a normal person, not spewing hate as a career.
Cue the shocked Pikachu face when they realize I care more about person R, than person C.
Similarly, if this person voted for Trump and lost his farm, I’m gonna have a lot less sympathy for him, than someone who voted against Trump, and lost his farm.
I really hope most of us liberal leaning people did not laugh. Murder is horrific no matter who the victim.
It is counter to the principles we (should ) live. Sure, no need to go pretend to be particularly impacted, or to suddenly try to find the goodness in him.
Besides, most liberal leaning people are also reasonably smart and know such an act only makes things worse for us, even if our side didn’t do it.
My first thought was it probably was a MAGA follower who did it, and it turned out to be the case.
If you really need to laugh, laugh at MAGA for killing their own.
Honestly I feel that memes can somewhat help break it down to a format even these chuckle fucks could understand if they wanted to.
I don’t think the issue is lack of understanding, they’re operating on faith logic where theyre looking for validation not information.
We laughed cause he spent years calling for political violence and then got what he asked for.
The primary difference here is that Charlie was murdered by a citizen who was arrested as soon as his identity was uncovered and is now in custody.
Renee Good was murdered by a federal agent that has the full support of the federal government and will likely never be arrested or face any accountability.
Oh no it’s not like that.
Person C was wearing my team’s colours, and person R wasn’t. Therefore person C’s death is terrible and person R’s joke is a funny joke.
The ridiculous thing is that they expect any empathy at all, when a key feature of their ideology is a complete lack of empathy.
The ridiculous thing is that centrists will give them the empathy they want, no matter what they do, and then spew all their hate at the left.
“So much for the tolerant left” they cry, after punching leftists in the face for 30+ years.
All that’s left is the consequences of their own actions, anybody who would’ve been willing to help them gave up long ago.
he should say so much for the tolerant right
That’s a brilliant metaphor.
