All those words but couldn't understand what tariffs mean

This got reported as "not LAMF" on the grounds that this person voted for lower grocery prices and got higher ones. This is an understandable argument, because just getting tricked on its own (even if you're unbelievably stupid to think that things like illegal tariffs and deregulation wouldn't do this) is not LAMF.

So let me explain why I kept the post up and still think it fits: she expressly voted for somebody who promised to cut programs like SNAP which make Thanksgivings affordable for millions of people. She expressly wanted these people hurt – to have their Thanksgivings ruined – because to her, they didn't deserve it.

"I never thought the leopards would make groceries unaffordable for me!"

Of course it is. Also, you knew better, but you did it anyway.

She didn't knew better because she is dumb though.
- I bet someone she knows explained it to her, but rather than let herself be convinced, she doubled down.

Yes it is piggy.

I'd be curious to find out what all of these "this is not what I voted for" people thought they were actually voting for and why they thought that

They thought abusing brown people would magically fix all the things they told were bad like universal healthcare, feeding children, and safety regulations.
They actually thought things would be cheaper with tariffs because Trump said so. They are hateful morons.
- They are not even thinking that deep. They just think handing assholes with power even more power is how to create more prosperity.
They were voting for racism
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it wasn't just about racism. Sure there are Republicans that are racist but there's still a good percentage of Liberals that are racist too. I think the facts of the matter do indeed matter, and unfortunately that comes with a plethora of misinformation and campaigns designed to target underprivileged voters. Low literacy rates will also exacerbate the divide. I'm so tired of this tirade that because "XYZ" people can't be treated with human decency. I still believe Republicans deserve a good life, as well as immigrants, poor people, and Democrats. Thats literally the point of leftism is to practise distribution of goods on a need basis instead of on merit.
- This isn't 2016 anymore. These people voted for him a 3rd time well after he made it very clear what he stood for. Racism is his defining feature.
Getting rid of brown people
- Same reason brexit won too right?
It wasn't supposed to hurt them, just other people.
They voted for things getting cheaper. And not believing that politicians can just make shit up and getting away with it
America. And America.
After Covid the recovery was K shaped. So the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. Trump was hammering out covid benefits, which actually helped a lot of people and before that the economy was doing well. A good bit of that was that Obama left it that way and the Republicans were divided enough to stop Trump from being as bad as he is today.
So a lot of them just looked back and saw that they did better under Trump then Biden and voted for Trump.
(Biden tried to do industrial policy, but that takes time, was delayed and money was spend baldy due to corruption. However the general plan was decent.)

ok, cool, now stfu and go back to foxnews and church; u must be exhausted after your heroic tweeting.

"this is NOT what I thought I voted for when I knowingly voted to be taxed on all foreign food and to lock up the people picking domestic food" ...Well, then what did you think you were voting for?

Reality is the president doesn't, or more accurately, shouldn't control the economy.

...Perhaps utterly worshipping one man was not the best idea? As history has repeatedly shown?

Oh boy, history repeatedly shows how everything goes south.
This mantra of individual responsibility is getting the US nowhere. Billionaires learned how to work collectively while one half of Americans blamed the other half for the problems the billionaires invented. Get your shit together and stop blaming your neighbor
- I meant indviduals more than individualism.
  This feels like religious worship, or influencer worship, to me. At least for some people I've observed.

Is this one of those Russian/Chinese/Nigerian astroturfing accounts?

Those would have reported a 30% decrease in cost for a larger meal, and had their entire bot army retweet it to viral levels. They won't let reality get in the way of the gaslighting their overlords demand.
- The russians plays both sides to sow dissemt.
Right? The president said eggs are cheaper. Why would they lie? /s /s

$300 for one meal? How many people is she feeding??

Kroger

Oh, so like 5.

Aldi forever. No, it is not the same company as Trader Joe’s if you’re wanting to talk about union busting. I say this because it happens every time.

Dude, we got an Aldi in my town, and I love it. Sure some of the stuff is different, and even has a tad different flavor....but I almost always feel my heart aching with relief when I see how much we get from Aldi with such low prices. My food stamps go so much further there. Thst place is a blessing to me and my family.
You know that it's common for people to feed 10 to 20 people on Thanksgiving, right? Plus there were probably leftovers and I highly doubt there was no alcohol in that purchase, which adds up quickly.
- I think serving 20 easily comes to like 700 bucks. We just did it, 20 people over 6 families/ couples and we each only brought 1-3 dishes, but with all the ingredients for sides and desserts, and then drinks and juice and tablecloths and blah blah blah I think each family easily spent 70 and a few of us spent 200. And we're frugal by nature, definitely Aldi shoppers, used real dishes instead of paper. There were plenty of leftovers, so you could argue it's two meals, I guess. I guess it depends on your region, too.
- Every Thanksgiving of my childhood involved at least 1 gathering with 20+ family members, no one person in my family ever spent the inflation adjusted equivalent of that on Thanksgiving because it just wasn’t a financial option. Every household brought 1 or 2 dishes so that the host wasn’t responsible for paying to feed everyone, because when you have a large extended family that’s nuts.

If she had even half a brain cell, she would know this is exactly what she voted for.

She voted for the racism. Not the taxes.

Mr. President, this is NOT what I voted for.

Yes it is. This is exactly what you voted for. Trump 1 told you exactly how Trump 2 was going to go. We're all eating shit, but I am happy your shit sandwich is slightly more unpalatable to you.

I feel like some of the people here should consider why we all know she would vote the same way if an election was held immediately after making this post.

They are getting something that they desire more than lower grocery costs or anything sane things any sane person would value.

They are getting to hurt marginalized people with their votes.

This is their single voter issue, and its the reason why no matter how much they've shot themselves in the foot, they'll buy that 500 dollar advil their insurance denied coverage for and load up another shell.

They don't evaluate politicians based on if they're happy. They evaluate politicians based on if who they hate feel sad.

I feel like some of the people here should consider why we all know she would vote the same way if an election was held immediately after making this post.
Because, except for a minute percentage, all of you vote team color, no matter what.
That minute percentage gets to be finger-wagged at for not wanting to vote for a party that is enthusiastically supporting a genocide killing their family and friends abroad, or sitting idly by while fascism takes root here in the US, or ignoring that basic living is becoming unaffordable. Because, totally, why should anyone expect that working full time pays for rent, utilities, health care, AND groceries?
- You can not want to do something and still recognize that abstaining from that vote is against the best interests of those who will be harmed if the wrong people end up gaining power. I sure didn't like voting for Kamala. But I'm smart enough to realize that was the best option I had.

No - actually that's exactly what you voted for - you're just too stupid and/or lazy and/or blinded by hate to realize that, or too dishonest to admit it.

Same dinner two years in a row, this is some true conservative vibe !

Waahhh... Cry harder magat.

We are all crying, brother in Christ
I'm not sure how legit that account is. I'm not on Twitter, but I've definitely seen that handle at the top of a few other "magat gets their comeuppance" reposts.

A con man conned you and bankrupted the country that’s exactly what you voted for 3 times

Oops, you said bad things about Dear Leader. Elmo will be suspending you soon for lying about patriotism, and the DOJ is preparing terrorism charges.

Bitch you voted for tariffs! Every expert said that would raise prices, but you refused to listen to experts! This is what you fucking get! Why did you have to drag us down with you!?

Well gosh, I feel sad that you had absolutely no warning that something like this could happen.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

...if you voted for Trump, this is exactly what you voted for...if you voted for Trump a second time, this is exactly what you voted for...if you voted a third time for Trump, this is precisely what you voted for...don't lie, don't deceive, just don't...

We told ya' so.

patriotic but doesn't want to support american business?

that's called being a dumb bitch, and you can quote me on that

Mr. President, this is NOT what I voted for.

"Karma is an ancient Indian concept that refers to an action, work, or deed, and its effect or consequences.... [It's] often descriptively called the principle of karma, wherein individuals' intent and actions (cause) influence their future "

In the Bible it sez something like "As you vote, so shall you reap!"

And don't be suprised if a lot of packages contain less than last year

Let's be real, if the media called import taxes "import taxes" and not "teriffs" Trump's import tax campaign would've much more rapidly collapsed

I have read about the Walmart meal being this year cheaper and a certain someone flexing about it. But actually it was less items and "Great Value" branded.

We're gonna drive future historians mad

They were lied to about tariffs, just like you Democrats were lied to about student loan relief and living wages.

Both of you act aghast when you get exactly what you voted for.

The last time the democrats were in office they did absolutely everything they could for student debt relief. They were blocked at every step by Republicans.
- Ehh, there was the parlamenterian that blocked student debt relief: https://thehill.com/opinion/education/550677-change-in-reconciliation-rules-takes-pressure-off-biden-to-forgive-student/
- You just sat through the last nine months and you honestly believe that?
  Everything they could do?
  More like they made every excuse they could possibly make.
  You are mistaken or lying to yourself.

Fucking morons think one of the wealthy coastal elites has their back just because he points out that they exist.

But I was told prices are going down, they're the lowest they've been since his first term. It's all Joe Biden's fault. And transexuals.

And Big Brother has generously raised the chocolate ration to 20 grams.

I'll be honest - that's less of an increase than I was expecting.

doesn't account for shrinkflation on the products though

The point stands, but is this a real account?

Me thinks not…20% increase y/y is a lie…
