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.

...And the Left does the same thing.
Back in the day, a lot of folks couldn't bring themselves to vote for Jimmy Carter because he wouldn't take a strong stand on South African apartheid. We got ronald reagan who embraced embrace South Africa.

-
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
-
Jeebus! Even cockroaches learn over time. Magats truly are morons!
-
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)

He committed member of the Pedophile Protection Team (PPT), aka, Guardians Of Pedophiles (GOP).

“ 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.
-
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.

-
You realize the takeaway form this is people know he's a rapist and still support their king right?
40% approval rating btw
-
It gets worae, they supoort him raping their daughters
-
"What if a liberal raped your daughters?"
-
-
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.

"The government you elect, is the government you deserve."

People suck. I've always said this.

-
Fucking moron.
-
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.
-
-
Natural selection.
-
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.
-
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.
-
At yet, somehow, this guy's vote is still Kamala's fault. 🙄
-
Great filter here we come
-
Bet that guy has a big family and is well on his way to having great grandchildren from at least one wife
-
-
Maybe not everyone does deserve and equal vote in a democracy actually. Or in the case of America his is literally worth more than mine because of where he lives -_-.
-
-
Well, at least Trump's making bank. Big time.
Maybe y'all should just work harder.
/s!!!
-
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.
-
Usually a reopening also means inspections and addressing building and equipment safety concerns that could've been swept under the rug for decades

Exactly, there was a huge covid boom for lumber mills and the market got saturated. Now all those small shops that opened during the boom can’t survive on the post Covid margins and are shutting down.
As much as Trump is a shitbag, this is probably more likely tied to changing mill economics post covid.
-
-
-
That's a shame. ANYWAY . . .
-
As a fellow North Carolinian I say fuck him. He got what he voted for.
-
Here’s to me hoping your West Side turns coat!🍻
-
-
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.
-
What does a lumber mill import so much of that tariffs causes it to shut down? -If they're importing raw wood, then that just seemed irresponsible to start with.
-
It probably has more to do with other countries adding terrifs on lumber exports in response. Maybe it's the cost of importing parts and materials needed for the process, though.
-
-
And he'll vote Republican again in 26 and 28
-
At least he's old and will age out of voting soon!
-
Not soon enough for my liking.
-
-
-
If your business needed undocumented labor to crawl back into the black, maybe your business acumen isn't as great as you think.
-
Be nice to this guy. He voted for racism, not to be poor. /s
-
If we make fun he'll never change! /s
-
-
-
Oh no! Not the day you voted for! Anything but that!
-
Should I care, because I don't.
-
-
lol
-
50 jobs is not an empire.
-
"My empire of dirt" ? :)
-
-
Bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve.
-
To hear nature in a sawmill instead of machines… for any lumberman, that’s unnatural
This man hated nature so much that he made a career out of cutting it down, apparently. He heard birds instead of chainsaws for the first time and freaked out
-
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.
-
If only someone could have told them this was going to happen.
-
Someone........someone........anyone.......
Oh wait. Would you settle for everyone?
-
-
-
Dumbest people on earth
-
Votes Trump even after this.
-
Never get to read any of the "I voted for Trump, now I've got a six figure income bashing in the heads of migrants and doing a little light child sex trafficking on the side. Life has never been better" articles, even though I'm confident there's at least as many of the latter.
If this guy can't turn a profit in an unprecedented period of unregulated clear cutting and skyrocketing lumber prices... Idk. Maybe he just didn't want it enough.
But this fiction of the "Sad Trumper" has got to be tempered by reality. There's a line around the block of Andrew Tates and Changpeng Zhaos who are loving a fellow scammer nonce in the White House.

Its ICE hires, they just wont put their names on it
-
They won't put their names on themselves.

-
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions!
-
It’s funny because he lost everything and is in financial ruins.
-
aww that sucks when your choices have consequences. Who could have seen this coming except every fucking body?
-
-
Hope they end up homeless
-
Or having to work in the lumber mill when it gets its new owner.
-
-
I'm not saying he deserves that, ofk he doesn't. But I'm not really good with multitasking. And I'm already too busy feeling like shit for all the poor people who didn't even had the chance to vote and was separated from their family, or lost it all, just because dumbass people like him belived that "they" were the problem. So, good luck.
-
I'm not saying he deserves that
You might not, but I sure will. In fact, I'll even translate a common idiom into terms he could understand:
"You cut with the saw you intentionally dulled."
-
Actually he’s exactly the kind of person that deserves it.
Every one of these jackals voting for this ass on the grounds of it making other people’s lives worse, does in fact deserve to have that turned back on them.

If you were confused (like me) as to how a lumber mill in the US was hurt by tariffs on foreign countries — they were importing their trees from Canada. Plenty of trees in the US, but I guess they’re all spoken for. 🤷♂️
“The U.S. lumber sector is reeling from tariffs on Canadian softwood, which have climbed to 45%. With roughly 30% of its supply coming from Canada”
-
Good

Bah-hah-fucking-hah!

You think Democrats are any different? Lmao.
They're the same team my guy, billionaires.
-
Fuck right off with the "both sides" BS. Yes, they have some awful similarities, but only one side has tRump selling the country for personal profit.
-
Right wing ideology is literally killing America
-
I think the megabrained "both sides are the same" take is just a form of "centrism by action". Only a handful of republicans signed the discharge petition on epstein, for instance.
If 95% of one party wants to protect things everybody recognizes as crimes and the other is 100% against them then idk what to tell you except one side is willing to violate every law and constitutional amendment to fuck you over.
The other will make rich people panic so hard they'll spend tens of billions of dollars buying up media companies to posture them against even a milktoast democrat. Media companies aren't directly profitable.
-
One side is owned fully by billionaires.
The other side is just owned enough to not be able to make a difference, but seem like they are trying.
-
One is complaining, one is complaining about something they did to themselves. Lmao
-
True but democrats pretend there's nothing they can do they don't actively make our lives worse.
-
Clinton gutted welfare and his administration also oversaw the repeal of the Glass-Steagull act. Obama and Biden built the cages that house many of the immigrants currently. Biden was the self-declared tough-on-crime senator that gave harsh sentences for drug violations while also being one of the architects of the current student debt situation. Democrats pretend, but all too often that's all they do.
-
Pretending they can do nothing while they watch you get fucked is actively making your life worse.

Wilson is a dumbshit and he will not learn from his mistake. Zero sympathy.

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?
