I'm not saying he deserves that, ofk he doesn't. But I'm not really good with multitasking. And I'm already too busy feeling like shit for all the poor people who didn't even had the chance to vote and was separated from their family, or lost it all, just because dumbass people like him belived that "they" were the problem. So, good luck.

I'm not saying he deserves that

You might not, but I sure will. In fact, I'll even translate a common idiom into terms he could understand:

"You cut with the saw you intentionally dulled."

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 3 points 16 minutes ago

As a fellow North Carolinian I say fuck him. He got what he voted for.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 42 points 2 hours ago

Fucking moron.

[–] Switorik@lemmy.zip 80 points 3 hours ago (6 children)

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 61 points 2 hours ago (6 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.

He committed member of the Pedophile Protection Team (PPT), aka, Guardians Of Pedophiles (GOP).

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

He would have voted for Trump again, even if HE KNEW his business would go under?! Wtf are these people thinking? That's some royal hate

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 6 points 1 hour ago

It's just good old brainwashing. They believe that voting for democrats will ruin their life so they vote for republicans and if republicans ruin their life then it's bad luck.

“I wish more of my bones were broken”

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago

Yeah because they won't lose a lumber mill this time.

Right?!

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 6 points 2 hours ago

That's the amazing part. No, not them saying they'd still vote for Trump. The fact that they can still talk with half their face gnawed off. I just wonder - was it because of the "any Democrat/leftist bad" mentality, was it because she was a woman, or what it because she was black? He said it wasn't anything said on the campaign, so it wasn't how badly they tanked her run. Maybe a combo?

If you're going to pull that dead end thinking, then how about trying to change the Republican party to help the American public? (I initially said "better", but we're starting at zero)

First time I’ve seen it with color

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Some beautiful day, they'll be able to record a video of it, so we can finally hear what they're playing!

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I imagine someone could do the math and figure out the range of possible notes that would come from a violin of that size.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Hopefully they'll take into consideration that the poor water bear never received any formal training and is not playing the instrument properly.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Kinda hard to play it backwards like that.

Jimi hendrix would have liked a word.

Retarded voter 🙄

[–] db2@lemmy.world 30 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Nah. A lot of these mills don't open back up because it's not profitable enough to retrograde them to handle smaller and smaller trees that are harvested.

[–] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 53 minutes ago

Usually a reopening also means inspections and addressing building and equipment safety concerns that could've been swept under the rug for decades

Oh no! Not the day you voted for! Anything but that!

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 24 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I wish it worked that way, but they can still vote and elect all the pedophiles, insurrectionists, rapists, and felons they want.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I used to have a lumber mill and now I work at KFC, look what the demonrats did to me, I'm voting red!

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 hours ago

Hopefully they’ll just starve to death in a sewer then

If only someone could have told them this was going to happen.

Someone........someone........anyone.......

Oh wait. Would you settle for everyone?

Something something, judge a tree by its fruits, something something.

Also, lumber empire?

... 50 employees?

Weyerhauser would laugh, if they even knew this person existed.

[–] kalapala@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 hours ago

Votes Trump even after this.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

If you were confused (like me) as to how a lumber mill in the US was hurt by tariffs on foreign countries — they were importing their trees from Canada. Plenty of trees in the US, but I guess they’re all spoken for. 🤷‍♂️

“The U.S. lumber sector is reeling from tariffs on Canadian softwood, which have climbed to 45%. With roughly 30% of its supply coming from Canada”

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 hours ago

To hear nature in a sawmill instead of machines… for any lumberman, that’s unnatural

This man hated nature so much that he made a career out of cutting it down, apparently. He heard birds instead of chainsaws for the first time and freaked out

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Dumbest people on earth

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Never get to read any of the "I voted for Trump, now I've got a six figure income bashing in the heads of migrants and doing a little light child sex trafficking on the side. Life has never been better" articles, even though I'm confident there's at least as many of the latter.

If this guy can't turn a profit in an unprecedented period of unregulated clear cutting and skyrocketing lumber prices... Idk. Maybe he just didn't want it enough.

But this fiction of the "Sad Trumper" has got to be tempered by reality. There's a line around the block of Andrew Tates and Changpeng Zhaos who are loving a fellow scammer nonce in the White House.

Its ICE hires, they just wont put their names on it

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 2 points 2 hours ago

They won't put their names on themselves.

Or having to work in the lumber mill when it gets its new owner.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago
