Thoughts and prayers.
Probably unpopular, but I don’t care what side you’re on, if your company is basically a monarchy, you don’t deserve to exist. How is this any different than a landlord just collecting rent? You sit there and “own” the company you inhereited while hundreds of other people do your work for you and you profit off of it. And then you don’t even give anyone else a chance to run it, only your nepo babies. If your company is just a means to serve your own family and nothing else, it would be better replaced by someone else.
It’s almost as if they want to destroy small businesses, to be replaced by giant mega-monopolies focused only on expanding profit.
That’s crazy though, it’s not as if our government is financed by evil corpo-fascists.
OR IS IT
They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps
Fucked around.
Found out.
Tradition doesnt replace intelligence and paying attention. It’s lazy. It is never a safe bet.
Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump
see, this is why i don’t have even a subatomic particle of sympathy for these people. yea, they’ll lament over their own livelihoods being completely destroyed, but they’d STILL vote for trump, for reasons that, at this point, don’t need explaining anymore
i’m glad they’re suffering
This is why America has no future. Its people will drive it into the fucking ground thanks to the corporate propaganda machine and conservative culture.
A conservative will happily eat a shit sandwich if it means a liberal has to small his breath…
conservative cult
ure.Regressive culture. They have stolen the word conservative. I’m conservative, in every way in my life. Part of that is not trying to force my point of view on others. I give my point of view and certainty will tell someone I disagree with theirs. I’m living my own life. I drive a fifteen year old well maintained car. I’ve had two mobile phones in the last 12 years. I rarely buy anything that is not of use to me or my children. I don’t want to take rights from people for their beliefs. I don’t drink much, gamble at all but don’t condemn those that do unless they are harming their children doing it.
The regressives I see drive huge late model vehicles. They always brag on having the latest mobile or some other frill. They constantly judge others for what they don’t have. Those that were lucky enough to be born into stability get upset when reality intrudes on their life. They blame everyone but themselves and enjoy the pain and suffering of others they blame for it.
That is how I see this whining simp from the article. I bet he hasn’t once cared for some ex employee of his in any tangible way.

as i mentioned in another comment, this is literally the magatrump mindset.
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

and you’re talking about
I bet he hasn’t once cared for some ex employee of his in any tangible way
inserting the assumption that the author has actually had employees. why is that? for that matter, why are so many employers trump voters? obviously: money.
you’re right in that they’ve stolen the “conservative” label and made it synonymous with fascism. “conservative” as a valid stance deserving of regard and consideration died with john mccain. now they’re all fucking trumpcult fascists with zero redeeming qualities.
i don’t know what to tell you. talk to your “conservative” friends and try to convince them that trump is a sack of worthless shit who’s ruining the country and the world?
good luck
They would rather be repeatedly raped by a rich old white man than helped by a young black woman. Thats essentially the modern Republican platform.
Out-groups to bind, in-groups to protect. That’s it. Often on a purely emotional level. Having the out-group be just out and about living life feels wrong to that kind of person. There has to be hierarchy, they feel.
yup, most of these people are basically in survival mode their whole lives. when your worrying about nothing but how long you can stretch your next paycheck…not much room for sympathy/self-reflection/critical thinking.
is why education in developing years when people are least burdened by real-world worries is so crucial (which has also been specifically dismantled for these communities, generally)
You miss understand these people. They own a mill. They have wealth, to them its “oh well it sucks on to the next thing.” Look how patriotic I am. It’s the employees at these places that are suffering.
Yeah the article says they just laid off the 50 employees, put the factory in mothballs, and then got real sad. No one is liquidating their company’s assets let alone coming for their personal fortunes. It almost sounds like they wanted an excuse to retire and sell the assets at their leisure, and this gave them that opportunity…
employees at these places that are suffering
if by some miracle any of those employees weren’t trump voters, then those employees were already suffering, being surrounded by trump voters
at least now they’re not alone in their suffering, and can say “told you so” or not, as they please…but they can go to bed without feelings of regret for their decisions, betrayed by someone they were convinced gave half a rat’s ass about them
Okay, to be fair, from what I understood they tried offering them jobs at the other mill, but only 10 accepted. I don’t know why - whether it was too far or something - but they tried to do right by their employees.
That doesn’t change the fact of being dense as fuck and still wanting to vote for the orange rapist, but yeah.

“I’ve lost my multi-generational family business in the span of one short year, but stand by my incompetent fuck-witted decision to vote for a man who wouldn’t piss on me if I caught fire.”
“Man upset that no one has sympathy after he intentionally stabbed himself multiple times and plans to do it again”
If anyone knows one of these half-wits, please trick them by asking them a question, then spitting into their mouth when they open it to answer.
It’s not a disaster. It’s a lesson. Hopefully they learn something from it.
Morgan Freeman Narration:
They did not.
Learning is for libruls and children. And he ain’t no librul.
Perhaps if they had prayed harder, believed harder, held on longer for the Great Lord Trumps promises to be allowed to come to fruition? [sarcasm].
All I can say is good. Get educated before you vote you dumb fucks.
Follow shit, you risk falling in it
Ha-ha!
Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump—reflecting a dilemma felt by many in rural America.
It’s all clowns all the way down, isn’t it?
Yep.
It’s going to get better as soon as the media landscape improves, though.
. . . aaaaaany minute now . . .
It’s going to take a collapse of the United States to reset the cycle, and it’s coming quickly.
VERY quickly.
Or could just release all the emancipatory technologies… reset back to the start of the suppression, availing all the good stuff we’ve been denied since?
“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity… anything you can imagine we already know how to do.” — Ben Rich, former Head of the Lockheed Skunk Works
“It is easier for us to pay a private contractor to re-invent something so it will come out at a lower classification level, than to try to declassify it.” – Bennett Hart, then Deputy Director of the National Reconnaissance Organization
… As patent office whistle-blower Tom Valone mentioned at free energy conferences in the early [20]00s, there had already been over 3000 free energy device patents, secreted, by the year 2000.
We have so much headroom without the crooks who would destroy it all to hide their crimes of depriving us to maintain their power over us.
… No need for the act of god that Ben Rich mentioned… easier to pay private contractor to “re-invent”, as Bennett Hart said… and easier ways yet if we just radically sublimate, radically provision…
I wonder which comes first.
That.
Or.
The wealth starts to trickle down.
Where’s my tiny violin?
Yeah, that’s a shame. ANYWAY . . .
You were warned this would happen you stupid fucking assholes. I hope you starve.
And they delighted in the “liberal tears” of those who warned them.
I disagree. This is the time we should help our fellow “trumpian” citizens after they have been badly bandied about by their dear leader. It’s time to mend fences. Trump and his admin are the common enemy here, not the folks who voted him in (if they did…the jury is still out on that). I get it though, violence rules, not democracy.
Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump
Nah, they are lost. They are too thick to be able to think critically, so they’ll still vote for him. So they a still stuck in the cult of brainless stupidly.
Nah, fuck these people.
We tried that, it didn’t work
No, we tried to reason with them for a fucking decade now and they let their hate rule them. They can all rot. They don’t get to switch sides and be welcomed with open arms just because suddenly something bad is finally affecting them. They can live with the consequences of their decisions.
More flies with honey than vinegar.
And better than shit, because shit’s less sticky, and then flies go around spreading shit everywhere.
