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.

Yea fuck this man sideways.
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
"Easy there snowflake. Did you forget to take your testosterone booster today? You out here crying like a pussy ass lib."

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
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.
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.

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.
people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare. now they get neither
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.

Notice that they voted for "Trump" but that it's "government" that damaged their business. Curious.
All I ever want to say to these people is: YOU DUMB FUCK. YOU STUPID GODDAMN FUCK. YOU SCREWED US ALL WITH YOUR STUPIDITY.
If you thought Trump was ever going to help you or keep his word on anything, you are just aggressively, ferociously stupid. You knew EXACTLY what he was and was warned 1000 times what he was. You got told.
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.
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!"
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.

Well it's safe to say someone got owned
It’s safe to say he’s not owning any business anymore
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.
i love this comm but its sad that most of these people will probably do mental gymnastics to stay a far right nazi.

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

Aww, thoughts and prayers...idiot.
Trump literally saying he doesn’t care about small business, only corporations
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 -
