“I voted for a power fantasy”
Well, the rich / big business did too, and their power is bigger than yours.
As always: You get what you fuckin‘ deserve.
Let’s not go that far. This person got something she deserved. Generally speaking, what someone deserves has little to do with what they get.
Clearly, that doesn’t happen. Especially not always. We wouldn’t be in this fucking boat if everyone got what they deserved. For example: Trump does not deserve the whitehouse. Republicans don’t deserve power. Are they getting what they deserve?
People who believe in karma are clearly not paying attention. Not now, and not to history.

surprise pikachu moment
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.
Face meet leopard.
And he still does not know the difference between taxes and tariffs and who’s gonna pay them.
He’s gone even further off the rez: “Tariff supporters are socialists”.
Like, no. It’s the exact opposite.
Hey baby are you a lib? ‘Cause you seem pretty owned.
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.
It means everybody lives in squalor because fuck everybody
Clearly he is liberal and didn’t know it.
Thank you Trump for enlightening him!
/sarcasm (because it is no longer obvious)
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.
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.
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.
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.
“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!
not a shitpost
Conservatism is a shitpost these days
Conservative is a misnomer used for propaganda purposes.
After all conservative aren’t really in the game of conserving.Honestly it always looked like a shitpost to me
You don’t get to decide that.
The leopard’s are gonna be eaten good by the summmer.
When they privatize the USPS and “raise the market floor” for small packages it’s going to kill my wife’s garage business. No one wants to spend $18 to ship a $35 item. $5? Sure, no problem. Even if it only doubles to $10 it’s still going to make the bulk of her customers pause.
Well duh, just open up a factory in your garage.
