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.
Yeah and I think I fall for this somewhat too. Here in Massachusetts we tend to be fairly progressive but tend to elect Republicans governors, because they’re more “leadership”.
Even among presidents, I didn’t hate Reagan as much because at least he was “presidential”, not embarrassing as the public face of the country, but then we had ever shrinking republicans that just looked childish and less professional each time. But democrats just don’t have any presence until Obama and biden
seems like the case with NYC, bipolar democrats while they prefer republicans at the state or city levels, because rich people wanted it that way. i live in the west coast, “blue here, but people here profess alot of conservative values, not neccesarily magata values, but conservative none the less”. its prominent because alot of people are transplants from other states.
