“Just tighten your belt bro. Just buy two dolls bro. It’s just a little bit of pain for the orange god-king bro.”
Everyone gets a fixed allotment of pencils bro. Isn’t capitalism great bro?
Surely his shoe business could have survived if he had only bought 2 shoes instead of a whole inventory.
Look, this guys failure to properly plan his business around his own politics is reason itself for his business to fail lmao
How does one own a small business, vote for the guy campaigning on a trade war, then get shocked when your small business is ruined by the trade war?
Oh no, the consequences of my actions, what have I done to deserve this!
Hey baby are you a lib? ‘Cause you seem pretty owned.
Your business has been sacrificed for his rich backers. HTH!
not a shitpost
You don’t get to decide that.
Conservatism is a shitpost these days
Honestly it always looked like a shitpost to me
Conservative is a misnomer used for propaganda purposes.
After all conservative aren’t really in the game of conserving.
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.
Well said, and i love your user name. Happy Friday 🥂
… “them” and “us” are actually all just us.
Yes!
I wish Lemmy had an “Exemplary” tag like Tildes, because this response is exemplary.
This is a bit of an extreme view. Most conservatives do have empathy, though they will prioritize their closed ones with it.
The problem with this specific scenario with the tarrifs is just people being misinformed and buying everything the party tells them, but I wouldn’t blame it on lack of empathy. If they’d actually known what the repercussions would be, I don’t think most of them would have voted for trump.
Many, many conservatives voted for dump to punish immigrants. Many, many people voted to “own the libs”, just like the person cited in this very post.
Please… point to the “empathy” in “owning the libs”. They might have the tiniest drop of empathy for some, but the problem is they have a lot more HATE for people they don’t even fucking know. That makes them terrible people no matter how much you say, “butbut they still have some empathy!”.
Yea, the problem is they have more hate than empathy.
Democrats are also a conservative party. Biden is a conservative with empathy.
I wish I was still on Twitter so I could see all the replies, flaming this guy
You know for fuck sure this guy is going to vote Republican in the midterms and then do another insurrection to make sure Trump is “elected” in 2028.
Yeah, but he’s owning the libs or what ever the fuck that means.
Clearly he is liberal and didn’t know it.
Thank you Trump for enlightening him!
/sarcasm (because it is no longer obvious)
It means everybody lives in squalor because fuck everybody
I genuinely think they won’t, one thing that does make people like this learn is when they personally feel the consequences of their actions.
Unfortunately, in the twitter comments that someone linked, you can see that he still staunchly believes that Trump was the best pick, and that a vote for democrats is a vote to “trans the kids.”
Republicans have been primed to treat their own suffering as a trial they need to overcome, and that was done specifically so they wouldn’t vote in everyone’s best interests even if it’s clearly also in their own best interests.
Despite what he said, he didn’t vote for Trump for the economy.
He voted for Trump because he was racist. So unless he suddenly became unracist, he will vote Republican again and blame a darker skinned person for the failure of his shoe business.
I honestly think it’s just because they’re fucking stupid and we’re raised that Republicans were “their” team.
I know for certain plenty of Republicans aren’t racist but I’ve yet to meet one who wasn’t rich or stupid.
Thank you for putting in the effort, I wish only the best for everybody involved🤣🤣
Thanks for linking, ironically this guy makes patriotic shoes with flags and ones that say “Gulf of America” on them according to the thread.
So much to unpack here…
Those shoes legit look like clown shoes. Makes sense I guess.
And he still does not know the difference between taxes and tariffs and who’s gonna pay them.
The same old song. Fascist voters believe that they will profit from fascism while only “the others” will be hurt. Idiots don’t realize that they are nothing but disposable assets to a fascist regime. That’s what fascism is all about.
what’s hilarious is they could be out on the street freezing and starving to death and they STILL will bleat their praises for dear leader trump, rather than admit that maybe they’ve been completely utterly 100% conned by the con man everyone’s been calling a con man for the last several decades
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
- Carl Sagan
exactly why they’ve been deliberately ruthlessly wrecking education for the last several decades. believe what you’re told to believe, regardless of whether that belief is supported by facts or evidence. actually, fact, evidence, science are your ENEMY
as painfully evidenced by death threats to dr. fauci
What a novel sacrifice they must make to make sure the other is properly hurt!
And:
“Can you imagine how much worse things would have been if Harris was elected?”
— conservative voters
For a bunch of people who purport to hate socialism, they sure do seem to enjoy being publicly owned
Saving this one
If there was lemmy gold, I’d give it to you for that one.
I wish I could claim it as my own. It’s a good line though.
lemmy silver for being honest! LoL
“I voted for a power fantasy”
Well, the rich / big business did too, and their power is bigger than yours.
Here’s the thing… You voted for the bad thing, you stupid fucking idiot.
Can’t you just make your own shoes? All you have to do is build your own shoe factory and then hire a bunch of illegals and children to work under the table for cash. You don’t even need a website, just sell the shoes on Facebook Market Place. That’s literally all there is to it.
I 3D printed some Crocs, does that count?
Definitely. Seize the means
