I'm all in for Trump randomly deporting immigrant citizens, sending a mob at the capitol, breaking the lives of millions of the minorities and the poorest, being best friend with a pedophile, insulting our allies and threatening annexion of other coutries, but crashing The Market?!??? That's not ok. He's suppose to help ME make money by exploiting others, if I have to lose money it's not fair!! ------- What a stupid broken evil country.

This is pretty much what I get from that. Not a shred of empathy.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 138 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's the conservative MO, in my experience. Don't care until it personally affects them. That's why they'll beat their chests about the sanctity of marriage, but get divorced. Or talk about protecting life, until their mistress needs an abortion.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 41 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Even then, they don't learn empathy. "Well my case is different" they say while on welfare

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 28 points 5 days ago

The only moral abortion is my abortion.

"Numerous impeachments? That's fine.
Convicted of numerous felonies? No that's fine, lol.
Adjudicated rapist? That's fine as well, she was probably asking for it, women amirite!!.
Six bankruptcies and multiple failed businesses, you say? Yeah that's also fine because it was the other people and not him.
Proven record of scams, even on charities? No, that's just good business."

Yeah, this guy’s not redeemed. The last and worst thing a MAGAt can do is take off their fucking red hat and put on a blue one like nothing they did happened.

Fuck that. Carve “MAGA” into this douche’s forehead and then he can rejoin sane society.

So they won't be voting Democrat.

I had this exact conversation with my MIL just yesterday. She voted for him, and she hit me with "This is so unexpected". I told her no, no it wasn't, everyone who was paying attention saw this coming a mile away, nothing could be more predictable.

Typical conservative. They don't care until it affects them directly. Enjoy suffering the consequences of your choices dipshit.

[–] PurpleSkull@lemm.ee 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lmao none of them will remember that 3 years from now when Trump or his successor run on a platform of "DEMOCRATS HAVE LOOSED THE SEWER MUTANTS ON US, WE NEVER HAD SEWER MUTANTS BEFORE SOROS FINANCED THEM. I BOLTED DOWN ALL THE MANHOLES IN NEW YORK. WHAT HAS OBAMA EVER DONE AGAINST SEWER MUTANTS?"

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's some choice rhetoric. Hell, even the sewer mutants are going to be voting republican.

Yeah..... Call me in 4 years when they vote republican again because it's not trump on the ballot and something something evil Democrats. I'd bet the same people saying this in 2025 were saying something similar when trump caused the COVID crash by doing fuck all to prevent the spread.

But also, fuck these people. Didn’t matter that innocent citizens with no charges are getting black bagged and tossed in cells. Didn’t matter families were getting ripped apart and deported. Didn’t matter that the bigotry against trans people has ramped up to being codified in congressional fucking rules levels. No it took an economic nightmare scenario personally affecting the livelihoods of these people for them to wake up AT ALL. Like fine, welcome to the fucking real world. You’re still a piece of shit in my eyes now start making better fucking choices, moron.

I mean yeah, on one hand wtf did he expect? Of course Trump was going to do stupid shit. The man is incredibly stupid.

On the other hand, Trump is also very cruel and this is incredibly important. It's not funny.

Every Republican that turns against him makes the insane ideas a little less likely to go through. Less likely to try for a 3rd term, less likely to commit fully to the El Salvador concentration camp ambitions, less likely to disappear as many American citizens without trial, less likely to do a bunch of truly horribly gruesome and catastrophic shit.

You won't win by mocking them for joining you. You're being more stupid than you can afford to be in these circumstances.

Just insane this is happening.

Um, this was a campaign promise. He promised to raise tariffs, and the natural reaction of the market to new tariffs is to drop. This isn't surprising, this is expected, and Trump said as much.

If you didn't want that, you shouldn't have elected Trump. Simple as. I didn't want that, so I didn't vote for Trump. Simple as.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 48 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The knuckleheads all thought that the other countries would be paying the tariffs because they didn't understand how tariffs work.

[–] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago (2 children)

well, it's been a quick and painful way to educate the American population on specific economic theories and topics

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 27 points 5 days ago (2 children)

You don't even need to get into economic theory, just tell them it's a hidden sales tax, and that's all they'll need to know. Tariffs are pretty simple:

  1. product gets taxed when it comes into our country
  2. companies increase the price of goods to pay the tax
  3. products are more expensive for customers, because of that tax

They won't see the tax when they buy stuff, but it's still there, and it's largely the same as if the fed government levied a nationwide sales tax, but it only applies to imports. Most US-made stuff relies on imported materials, so it even impacts them.

I’ll believe they’ll vote Dem when I see it. Trump was a fuck up before he was president and a terrible businessman. He was a fuck up when he was president and got hundreds of thousands of people killed unnecessarily because of his narcissism. He very plainly showed who he was in his words and actions. People still voted for him THREE TIMES.

They’ll fucking check the box for him or any other R next time because god forbid they take responsibility or self reflect at all for electing that shit stain.

Voting conservative is a failure of empathy. Once it affects them themselves, then they see the downsides.

The fact that they are still good friends with someone that actively claims(/claimed) to have supported Trump is damning for that tweetist.

And what am I supposed to take away from this? Cool, they're fine with racism and sexism but the economy is sancrosanct. Who is this appealing to/performing for?

What drives me insane about these "I can't trust Trump anymore" assholes of today is how much they didn't give a shit about all the racist, vile, destructive things Trump did in his first term.

This wasn't a light switch. They just been living with their eyes closed this whole time and now they're complaining.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 41 points 5 days ago

It's all bullshit

He lost people a bunch of money last time too, and later it was rationalized. People are pissed now, but they were already trump voters. Critical thinking was never their strong suit.

So who knows what they'll be thinking the next time they vote.

It's why we need to give people something to vote for, not just hope they vote against trump.

Didn't Trump tank the economy in 2019 with his fumbling of the COVID crisis? Didn't everyone's 401ks and private portfolios get tanked, leading to trillions in bailouts and a seismic shift in the composition of the labor market thanks to the 1.1M Americans killed by the epidemic? Didn't we already have a Congo Line of Republicans insisting they'd never vote for Trump again? Didn't we have billionaire CEOs lining up to condemn him? Kicking him off social media? Refusing to hire his administration's staffers? Divorcing themselves from his businesses and denying the RNC money on his behalf?

I seem to remember something about this from back in 2020. Democrats winning in a landslide that was (numerically) larger (but delegate-wise smaller thanks to decades of unchecked gerrymandering/voter caging) than the historic 2008 landslide for Obama. Everyone coming into office on a mandate to Never Let This Happen Again. People chanting "Lock Him Up!" from left, right, and center. MAGA in full retreat. Fascism defeated. Honor and Integrity Restored To The White House.

Was that just me? Did anyone else remember something like that happening?

Now these same assholes are back whining about their 401ks getting chewed up and spat out again? Come the fuck on. I don't believe you. You're going to vote Republican the moment FOX News tells you how Woke the other side of the ballot is.

This is the "I'm alright Jack" crowd, not necessarily the ones driven by hate, so the actual "conservatives" and the backbone of rightwing support.

Whilst even when the mainstream Right move all the way to Fascism they keep on supporting it, it's only as long as they themselves carry on being alright.

I really want to believe this.

But we have watched Donald Trump do so much stupid, evil shit in real time and we still ended up here.

There is only a small minority of people voted for Trump because of prices. They did it because they hate that the world is not constructed for them to be on top. They hate that there are three transgender high school athletes in the state. They hate that Harriet Tubman is on the twenty dollar bill. They hate that the Brown MnM is less sexy. They hate that they couldn't get a date in high school. I do not trust self-interest will prevail over blind, stupid hate after we have witnessed it not for so long.

If seeing people deported to extraterritorial prisons without due process, the only evidence of their crime being Donald Trump says so, is not enough to get these people on side, but their retirement portfolio getting fucked with is, I have no faith in them.
