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 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.
