Trump MAGA voter being decimated
by tariffs wanted sympathy. He
found only scorn
Apr. 14, 2025
When a small business owner who
voted for Donald Trump posted a
video on TikTok recently,
pleading for help because the
crushing tariffs on China were
about to bankrupt his operation —
which, he said, imports alloy
wheels — he found little comfort
from a slice of his fellow
Americans.

What an *outstanding* story! Deeper in it after the excerpt you posted is this, first quoting the MAGAt whining, then analyzing it:
“Anyone that enters my life, I’m going to judge you of who you are, how you
are as a human being. Are you kind? Are you polite, Are you sincere? That’s
how I judge you, not who you voted for. I’ve got far left leaning friends. I
got far right leaning friends. It doesn’t matter to me. I like you based on
who you are.
“But to see someone hurt and their business fail and their family be affected
because they didn’t vote the way you did, it’s [messed] up. I’m sorry. A lot
of you are [messed] up. I’m sorry. We should all care about each other
regardless of who we voted for. I’m sorry. I hope you guys can be better
people.”
After the follow-up video, he was mocked for his a) economic ignorance;
b) hypocrisy on judging people on their decency while voting for Trump, one
of the least decent men to hold the office — and a guy elected, in part,
because of his lack of decency; and c) voting for a candidate who made no
secret that he, if elected, he would victimize the most marginalized groups
in the country, or thinking that as a white guy, he’d be safe.
No, Trump is not "one of the least decent" men ever to hold the office — he is,
hands down, *the* least decent. Hurting people in as cruel a manner as possible *is the point* of most of what he has done. His character is *shit*, and this whinging crying MAGAt vote for him in large part *because* of Trump's cruelty. He's simply lying about how he evaluates people.
I would not ordinarily hope for people who make mistakes to suffer, but people who voted for Trump didn't make "mistakes." They *knowingly* voted for a rapist,
a convicted felon and fraudster, an insurrectionist, a crook, a fascist, a truly
loathsome person who only wants to hurt people (except for similarly evil plutocrats). MAGAts richly deserve to suffer. All right-thinking and patriotic Americans want MAGAts to suffer to the point of death. And we want their children to suffer, too.
