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?

“ 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.

Enjoy the day you voted for....

[–] Killer57@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because at the bottom of the article he states that he stands by his vote and would make that vote again.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago

Because the alternative would be to accept responsibility for one's own incompetence. Can't do that.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 9 points 1 day ago

Well, at least Trump's making bank. Big time.

Maybe y'all should just work harder.

/s!!!

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.

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 157 points 2 days ago (19 children)

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.

[–] AniZaeger@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

That's a shame. ANYWAY . . .

[–] Zink@programming.dev 73 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

They probably mostly voted for Trump too. But yeah, the rich guy gets the article.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 51 points 2 days ago (4 children)

You realize the takeaway form this is people know he's a rapist and still support their king right?

40% approval rating btw

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It gets worae, they supoort him raping their daughters

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

"What if a liberal raped your daughters?"

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

he says his decision was knuckle-based. and he'd do it again

“I voted for Trump all three times. Yep. I did,” he admits. “But I literally was in the voting booth. And I rapped my knuckles and the Trump one hurt more, and that was the one that I voted for. Because it was just, it was so disgusting and, and I hate to say that, but that’s literally how I made that choice.”

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.”

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (5 children)

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.

Great filter here we come

Don't worry, your lumber mill will still be there, it will just be owned by someone else.

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.

If your business needed undocumented labor to crawl back into the black, maybe your business acumen isn't as great as you think.
