people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare.
Let's not pretend that either human rights or healthcare were on the ballot in 2024.
The republicans came within a vote of defunding Obamacare in 2018 and have talked about kicking out immigrants for a generation. To say that neither of those things were on the ballot is incredibly naive.

It's a genuine mistake (/s), they thought that pro-business/anti-regulations would help their small business.
As with everything, they lied. It's about billionaires making more billions, at the expense of EVERYONE else - workers, but also other businesses. I'm convinced that all the rest, including the racism, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and overall bigotry are just tools to convince people to act against their own interests.
They didn't even lie. They said this is what they were going to do. He chose to believe that plan would only hurt people he disliked.
They got wealth, just for a distinct group of people
Well it's safe to say someone got owned
It’s safe to say he’s not owning any business anymore
Seems more like a self own.
You get exactly what you fucking deserve you stain on humanity. I pray you starve to death in the streets so everyone can see what your malicious selfishness has earned you.
Edit: downvote all you want, these monsters only understand empathy as applied to them, their continued living does nothing for humanity - their messy, miserable, self inflicted death for all to see might actually teach some people something.
From another post, in case you think my initial assessment too harsh -
But he owned the libs, right?
I'm afraid with his business going down, the best he can do is rent the libs.
Owned himself to own the libs. Good work, buddy, you sure showed 'em. 🙄
Clearly he was a lib as well
I will never get tired of seeing posts here
You're not part of the club, dumbass.
These make me really happy
What comes around, goes around. They are pretending that they didn't wish ill will against others first.

I feel thoroughly owned. Well done.
It's the only way they'll learn... If only they were capable of learning.
FAFO, dipshit!
Ah yes. The serotonin hit I just received from resding this was divine. This is one of the most satisfying FAFO's I've seen recently
He's so close to making that connection
Is he though
You can’t beat stupid
I hope Steffi leaves him for a better man (although there's a good chance she voted Trump too, in that case I hope the better man dump her)
