I didn't vote for this

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.

All I ever want to say to these people is: YOU DUMB FUCK. YOU STUPID GODDAMN FUCK. YOU SCREWED US ALL WITH YOUR STUPIDITY.

And he will never ever actually try to find or figure out the answer to his own question, just wait to be told what to think

Democracy cannot survive an electorate that is this fucking stupid.
- Probably why it's not

- omg I want that as a bumper sticker so bad

Small government enjoyer just got owned

Literally everyone warned you. Everyone.
But you wanted to "own the libs" so those leopards you let brainwash and manipulate you are now feasting on faces.

No more DEI, no more LGBTQ. You losing your business was totally worth it right? Thats what you voted for.
- I don't know, "Steffi" sounds like a very DEI name if you ask me /s

i love this comm but its sad that most of these people will probably do mental gymnastics to stay a far right nazi.

Aww, thoughts and prayers...idiot.

These are like Herman Cain awards and I'm as here for it as I was for those.
- I loved that sub so much, morbid sure, but it felt like a little bit of well-deserved karma!
- Didn't Herman Cain awardees die of their poor choices?
  
  I mean... that's what happened to Hermain Cain, so... yes?

This is not a battle between good and evil.
This a battle between stupid and evil. And stupid is scoring home run after home run!
- I like the sentiment but... Who's evil and who's stupid?
  Trump is definitely evil and his voters evil and stupid, but I'm not sure his stupid voters are winning IE OP
  I don't know... I feel like sane people are losing because our system gives shit hole states as much power as California

I actually really like seeing these.
You dumbs fucks did this to yourselves, the unfortunate part is that they were not smart enough to understand what was really happening and what was going to happen.
The unfortunate part is all the misery they will cause for the good people (and I don't mean one political party or another).
The enshittification of the world (which has been happening for a while) is picking up speed because of these dumb fucks.

paying the taxes
LMAO, swing and a miss...
- I mean, they will pay them. And then charge more for product to cover the additional cost. It's a lot easier to tolerate that in the short term if you're bigger.
  I find it amusing they though they'd be safe from the increased tariffs under a de minimis limit. That's a thing that could have happened, but that tends to benefit small purchasers over large ones which is the opposite of GOP thinking and is also no something Trump et al had ever mentioned, so I don't know why they would expect it?
  For anyone that doesn't know, de minimis is a tariff exception for small purchases, basically that it's not worth the administrative cost of levying the tariff for fiddling small change, so if it's a small enough shipment they won't bother.

Yea fuck this man sideways.
- I didn't vote for this
  Didn't you know what you were voting for?
  Yes.
  Well, he's a liar, an idiot, or both. I'm going with both.
- These idiots really don't understand how it works, do they? "trans the kids"
  nobody was transing the kids, idiot Austin. That's not how anything worked.
  
  Honestly the best response to that kind of thing is just "lol based" completely short-circuits them
  
  Been seeing trans as a verb more and more just lately. Now you will too.
- Rofl he doubled down????
  
  They have to. Their world view is so fragile that accepting they're wrong about even the smallest thing risks shattering the whole.
  
  Hey the important thing is that there isn't a trans kid playing soccer!
- Haha what a sad hateful bitter fuck. May he find out more
- Oh no Trump took away my buisness with his economic policies. At least I can rest easy knowing that we're legislating child genitals

Well he can get an exemption if he pays a $10 million consulting fee to Ballard Partners. I assume he's okay with that, because that's what he voted for.

Notice that they voted for "Trump" but that it's "government" that damaged their business. Curious.

Note to self: Face-eating leopards nearly always arrive hungry.

oh wow money and power worshipping billionaires only supports big brands? I am completely shocked I must say

People like this are dumb as fuck and deserve their misfortune.

"I didn't vote for this"
Yes... you literally did vote for this.
- it'll never cease to be hilariously ironic that conservatives love to call others naïve, as they themselves fail to realize that people will tell blatant lies in order to get votes
  
  It's all projection. Poorly educated people cannot comprehend that people smarter than them exist.
  Anyone who think they are smarter must be an idiot and must be more naive than a them to believe they are actually smarter.
- And I bet they'll do it again in ten years when the next swindler comes along telling them lies.
  
  Lol, you think we're gonna still have elections.
  
  Gotta own them libs!
- At least there's enough brain power there to call them taxes

Austin Wade Petersen (born February 19, 1981) is an American writer, political activist, commentator, and broadcaster. He is the host of the Wake Up America show daily newscast. He was the runner-up for the Libertarian Party's nomination for President of the United States in 2016,[1] finishing second place to Gary Johnson with 21.9% of the vote.[2][3]
- Libertarian
  Vote for Trump
  Hmmmmmmm
  
  All Libertarians are just republiQans who don’t want to take responsibility for republiQans.

The de minimus exemption was never meant to be used as a loophole by any business, big or small. He's basically admitting tax fraud. "I bought lots of sub $800 orders to avoid paying taxes and it's the only thing that kept me profitable!"
- Thats not it at all. Theres a big difference between 15% import taxes and 200%
  
  that is what the de minimis loophole is though, and it is ideologically consistent with tariffs and trumps economic view so it is what he voted for
- That's sounds roughly equivalent to "structuring" in the money laundering industry.
- Look, he voted for Trump too. Clearly the guy doesn't think anything through or even have good ideas.

Seems more like a self own.

people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare. now they get neither
- people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare.
  Let's not pretend that either human rights or healthcare were on the ballot in 2024.
  
  The republicans came within a vote of defunding Obamacare in 2018 and have talked about kicking out immigrants for a generation. To say that neither of those things were on the ballot is incredibly naive.
- It's a genuine mistake (/s), they thought that pro-business/anti-regulations would help their small business.
  As with everything, they lied. It's about billionaires making more billions, at the expense of EVERYONE else - workers, but also other businesses. I'm convinced that all the rest, including the racism, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and overall bigotry are just tools to convince people to act against their own interests.
  
  They didn't even lie. They said this is what they were going to do. He chose to believe that plan would only hurt people he disliked.
- They got wealth, just for a distinct group of people

Well it's safe to say someone got owned
- It’s safe to say he’s not owning any business anymore

You get exactly what you fucking deserve you stain on humanity. I pray you starve to death in the streets so everyone can see what your malicious selfishness has earned you.
Edit: downvote all you want, these monsters only understand empathy as applied to them, their continued living does nothing for humanity - their messy, miserable, self inflicted death for all to see might actually teach some people something.
From another post, in case you think my initial assessment too harsh -
