A beloved family-run grocery store in Florida may soon close its doors after more than four decades in business — and the owners say tariffs are to blame.

The trouble began when President Donald Trump’s tariffs took effect, shaking the foundation of small import businesses across the country.

Oh no, is that my mom's friend? (no just kidding, but she does have a lot of friends/acquaintances that is pro-trump for some reason)

immigrated to the United States from Hong Kong

🤣

Hello fellow Cantonese speaker; You fucking TRAITOR, traitor to both your own fellow Cantonese people, fellow immigrants, and also, most importantly, a traitor to democracy and the working class.

So, as a Cantonese speaker and fellow Chinese-American immigrant, I wanna say:

仆街，食屎屙飯，死蠢，抵死，冚家鏟 。ROFL

I bet they'd support the pro-beijing camp if they were in HK. Bootlicker PoS.

Yeah, you'd think that as a fellow hong konger this guy would have been a bit smarter than to vote for a open fascist.

Just a bit to much of thinking he's white adjacent enough I suppose.

they are disgrace to asians for shilling ofr a rich white old fart that is part of the "white rulling " class that has f'ed over asian for decades, do they realize all those stereotypes will get reinforced more, and they wont be seen as equals to whites, or even black, or latinos. i once followed some asian tubers that started shilling for trump other rich old farts during the pandemic and more or less loss a significant amount of thier viewership, what was left was incel asians, muslims who though the same things they did, plus parasocial female fans. additionally mysogynistic attack against a former female employee which extended to all former female employees that "divorced" from the channel which kickstarted the downfall. whats funny they also were using a token african american constantly bullying him.

Man, I could read stories about the misery Temu Hitler has dropped on his voters all day every day.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I take no pleasure in it. I really hope enough of them are capable of learning from their own suffering in 2026 and 2028 to turn this around.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

The majority of them are not capable of learning. These people live fact-less lives. Their worldview is shaped by feeling and what others tell them. There is no use of critical thinking, reflection, scientific method, facts, or figures.

Unfortunately, they will only learn with a massive amount of pain.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Don’t worry, I can handle feeling pleasure on your behalf.

The silver-lining is that now he won't have to sell his business when ICE deports him.

Ngl the picture from the article goes hard. It looks like a scene from a cult favourite Asian movie from the 80s/90s

I'd like to know how long they were voting for GOP because as an immigrant family in a red state they thought by always voting for that party they expected stability and security while stiff-arming Dems and progressives as being disruptive. They never expected a gaslighting autarky-loving opportunist to destroy their business altogether.
