Even after losing his business to Trump’s policies, he stands by his vote: “Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would’ve voted for President Trump again.”
His brother Stephen agrees: “I don’t think I had a choice to vote any other direction.”>
This got me. I would put money on that he would vote for Trump again.
Yeah the logic always stuns me.
"If I vote for a Democrat they'll probably take some of my money through taxes and I'll be poor"
Trump wins and ruins their business, they lose all of their money.
"At least I'm not poor because of evil Democrat taxes"
They have truly been brainwashed. Whatever bad shit republicans do they still believe the Democrats must be worse, because the republicans told them so. Even though the republicans have provably been lying to them for years.
Many Trump supporters would like to consider themselves to be "devoutly religious" (the way the treat others says otherwise, but that's beside the point). People who are "devoutly religious" have a tendency to take things they are told as gospel (pun definitely intended), regardless of how utterly illogical and detached from reality it may be. If the "right" person comes along, 100% of what is said will be believed 100% of the time. It's something that RepubliCons have taken advantage of for years, and it's something that is second nature to con artists like Trump and that Nigerian prince that won't stop sending me gods damned emails.
He would have voted for Trump again, even if HE KNEW his business would go under?! Wtf are these people thinking? That's some royal hate
It's just good old brainwashing. They believe that voting for democrats will ruin their life so they vote for republicans and if republicans ruin their life then it's bad luck.
Yeah because they won't lose a lumber mill this time.
Right?!
“I wish more of my bones were broken”
That's the amazing part. No, not them saying they'd still vote for Trump. The fact that they can still talk with half their face gnawed off. I just wonder - was it because of the "any Democrat/leftist bad" mentality, was it because she was a woman, or what it because she was black? He said it wasn't anything said on the campaign, so it wasn't how badly they tanked her run. Maybe a combo?
If you're going to pull that dead end thinking, then how about trying to change the Republican party to help the American public? (I initially said "better", but we're starting at zero)
Fucking moron.
First time I’ve seen it with color
Some beautiful day, they'll be able to record a video of it, so we can finally hear what they're playing!
It's kind of annoying that 51 people lost their jobs to tariffs and they only write an article about the rich guy at the top of the family empire. But I'm sure that the 50 other families' quests for food and shelter and medicine were pretty boring compared with the breakage of the boss's money-generating machine he inherited.
Granted, he is the one who most deserves the leopardsatemyface recognition.
They probably mostly voted for Trump too. But yeah, the rich guy gets the article.
he says his decision was knuckle-based. and he'd do it again
“I voted for Trump all three times. Yep. I did,” he admits. “But I literally was in the voting booth. And I rapped my knuckles and the Trump one hurt more, and that was the one that I voted for. Because it was just, it was so disgusting and, and I hate to say that, but that’s literally how I made that choice.”
Even after losing his business to Trump’s policies, he stands by his vote: “Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would’ve voted for President Trump again.”
Natural selection.
Wild. That's fucking wild. I'm out here putting thought into my vote and this cunt is rattling his knuckles. We are cooked as a species.
The biggest problem with voting is that each voter's own choice has a huge externality relative to average personal consequences. So selfish people have an incentive to vote with their tribe and not put any further thought into it.
You're being "irrationally" altruistic by actually considering multiple candidates. As bad as losing his business is, this schmuck was more afraid of being ostracized by his fascist peers.
His bottom statement is more relevant. He gave zero shits about policy, party, or politics, he was just focused on the people running.
One a black woman former prosecutor. One a corrupt white male felon.
He said he was always going to vote for the latter.
Serves the dumb cunt right.
Don't worry, your lumber mill will still be there, it will just be owned by someone else.
Nah. A lot of these mills don't open back up because it's not profitable enough to retrograde them to handle smaller and smaller trees that are harvested.
You realize the takeaway form this is people know he's a rapist and still support their king right?
40% approval rating btw
conservatives will overlook rapist/SA/Child abuse if it gets thier rocks off on culture war issues, plus many supporters are often the above mentioned themselves, or have predilections towards the deviancies.
Sounds good.
The less money this freak and his family have, the less they can contribute to felons, rapists, insurrectionists, and pedophiles.
Hope it hurts.
I wish it worked that way, but they can still vote and elect all the pedophiles, insurrectionists, rapists, and felons they want.
As a fellow North Carolinian I say fuck him. He got what he voted for.
If your business needed undocumented labor to crawl back into the black, maybe your business acumen isn't as great as you think.
Oh no! Not the day you voted for! Anything but that!
“ To hear nature in a sawmill instead of machines… for any lumberman, that’s unnatural. I don’t want to sound overly dramatic, but it’s as unsettling as watching a loved one take their final breath.”
This guy is blubbering over the fact that he can hear the birds in his shop. He thinks that’s akin to someone in his family dying. Were it coming from any other person it would be “snowflake soy boy” behavior.
Though since his family is just as important as his shop, if he brings one of the younger girls to trump, he might be able to do a little tradie-poo with him.
It’s all enormously pathetic.
lol
Yeah. That’s eastern NC for you. Where this place is at, not a lot of job opportunities either. The paper mill is about it.
This is also in an area where the local restaurants have nothing but newsmax on the tvs.
Something something, judge a tree by its fruits, something something.
Also, lumber empire?
... 50 employees?
Weyerhauser would laugh, if they even knew this person existed.
So he was a business owner and he made a decision without looking into the minutia of that decision. Really great boss there, I'm sure the business was going fine before Trump.
Seriously if you're a business owner and you voted for Trump then you're double plus stupid. It was blindingly obvious from the outside that the guy was unstable and his policies, workable, it really didn't require much in the way of political investigation. Yet, even that level of political awareness was apparently beyond the capabilities of this idiot.
What really gets me is that these people are trying to make it out, as if they were in some way lied to. Nothing could be further from the truth, I don't even live in America and even I knew what Trump was offering, so how are these people claiming ignorance?
