Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump
see, this is why i don't have even a subatomic particle of sympathy for these people. yea, they'll lament over their own livelihoods being completely destroyed, but they'd STILL vote for trump, for reasons that, at this point, don't need explaining anymore
i'm glad they're suffering
This is why America has no future. Its people will drive it into the fucking ground thanks to the corporate propaganda machine and conservative culture.
conservative cult~~ure~~.
Regressive culture. They have stolen the word conservative. I'm conservative, in every way in my life. Part of that is not trying to force my point of view on others. I give my point of view and certainty will tell someone I disagree with theirs. I'm living my own life. I drive a fifteen year old well maintained car. I've had two mobile phones in the last 12 years. I rarely buy anything that is not of use to me or my children. I don't want to take rights from people for their beliefs. I don't drink much, gamble at all but don't condemn those that do unless they are harming their children doing it.
The regressives I see drive huge late model vehicles. They always brag on having the latest mobile or some other frill. They constantly judge others for what they don't have. Those that were lucky enough to be born into stability get upset when reality intrudes on their life. They blame everyone but themselves and enjoy the pain and suffering of others they blame for it.
That is how I see this whining simp from the article. I bet he hasn't once cared for some ex employee of his in any tangible way.
A conservative will happily eat a shit sandwich if it means a liberal has to small his breath....
They would rather be repeatedly raped by a rich old white man than helped by a young black woman. Thats essentially the modern Republican platform.
Out-groups to bind, in-groups to protect. That's it. Often on a purely emotional level. Having the out-group be just out and about living life feels wrong to that kind of person. There has to be hierarchy, they feel.
yup, most of these people are basically in survival mode their whole lives. when your worrying about nothing but how long you can stretch your next paycheck...not much room for sympathy/self-reflection/critical thinking.
is why education in developing years when people are least burdened by real-world worries is so crucial (which has also been specifically dismantled for these communities, generally)
You miss understand these people. They own a mill. They have wealth, to them its "oh well it sucks on to the next thing." Look how patriotic I am. It's the employees at these places that are suffering.
employees at these places that are suffering
if by some miracle any of those employees weren't trump voters, then those employees were already suffering, being surrounded by trump voters
at least now they're not alone in their suffering, and can say "told you so" or not, as they please....but they can go to bed without feelings of regret for their decisions, betrayed by someone they were convinced gave half a rat's ass about them
Yeah the article says they just laid off the 50 employees, put the factory in mothballs, and then got real sad. No one is liquidating their company's assets let alone coming for their personal fortunes. It almost sounds like they wanted an excuse to retire and sell the assets at their leisure, and this gave them that opportunity...
‘I wish more of my bones were broken’ - Deranged Lunatic
"I've lost my multi-generational family business in the span of one short year, but stand by my incompetent fuck-witted decision to vote for a man who wouldn't piss on me if I caught fire."
"Man upset that no one has sympathy after he intentionally stabbed himself multiple times and plans to do it again"
If anyone knows one of these half-wits, please trick them by asking them a question, then spitting into their mouth when they open it to answer.
Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump—reflecting a dilemma felt by many in rural America.
It's all clowns all the way down, isn't it?
Yep.
It’s going to get better as soon as the media landscape improves, though.
. . . aaaaaany minute now . . .
It's going to take a collapse of the United States to reset the cycle, and it's coming quickly.
"Wahh wahh, they are hurting the wrong people." -this dipshit
Asked what he would tell the president if Trump stood in his sawmill, Wilson didn’t hide his frustration.
“I’d like to say, What the heck? Actually, I’d like to say about nine different explanatives,” he said. “But… President Trump, gee, I understand what you’re trying to do, but you’re on a fool’s mission. And you’re not helping out a few. You’re hurting a lot.”
The White House declined to comment on the closure.
When asked whether they had voted for Trump, both brothers admitted they had—Wilson, all three times. He said the decision felt “disgusting,” and he regrets supporting Trump’s trade agenda, which he now sees as directly responsible for shutting down one of his family’s businesses.
. . . Wilson expressed deep regret about parts of his vote. “There are some things I regret about voting for President Trump? Yes, a hundred percent. Trade policy is one of them… I wish it hadn’t have turned out that way.” Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump—reflecting a dilemma felt by many in rural America.
What a fucking clown. He deserves every part of the closure.
What dilemma is he facing by not voting for the politician actively hurting him and his community??? These people are ina cult.
Correct.
Got screwed but still can't admit he made a mistake. Fuck him and his mill. Sometimes people get what they ask for and you have to enjoy that.
Good. Now let's hope the property gets bought up by some shitty finance company and torn the fuck down so we can be sure they can never have it again.
"Even knowing what I know, I'd still have voted the same way." Okay, cool, please accept my lack of sympathy for your current situation. Also, emphasis added:
he now sees as directly responsible for shutting down ONE of his family’s businesses.
Yeah, let me expand that lack of sympathy ....
They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps
Eat shit losers.
You were warned this would happen you stupid fucking assholes. I hope you starve.
And they delighted in the "liberal tears" of those who warned them.
"Enlightened" people on the left calling for sympathy for Trump supporters are wrong and working against compassionate national policy.
I's charitable to forgive, but babyhands supporters voted for a rapist who stated his clear intent to harm people with greater focus after harming people for years.
Actions have consequences and every cowardly, selfish maga idiot being harmed by their own choice is getting what they deserve.
The tragedy is the countless other people being killed and devastated because of cowardly maga voters.
Fucked around.
Found out.
Tradition doesnt replace intelligence and paying attention. It’s lazy. It is never a safe bet.
It's almost as if they want to destroy small businesses, to be replaced by giant mega-monopolies focused only on expanding profit.
That's crazy though, it's not as if our government is financed by evil corpo-fascists.
OR IS IT
It's not a disaster. It's a lesson. Hopefully they learn something from it.
Morgan Freeman Narration:
They did not.
Probably unpopular, but I don't care what side you're on, if your company is basically a monarchy, you don't deserve to exist. How is this any different than a landlord just collecting rent? You sit there and "own" the company you inhereited while hundreds of other people do your work for you and you profit off of it. And then you don't even give anyone else a chance to run it, only your nepo babies. If your company is just a means to serve your own family and nothing else, it would be better replaced by someone else.
Maybe it's naive, but hopefully 1-2% of the people this happens to will learn something from it.
Oh no! Exactly what they voted for! 😭
Follow shit, you risk falling in it
