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

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 4 points 44 minutes ago

Be nice to this guy. He voted for racism, not to be poor. /s

[–] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 34 minutes ago

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

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 4 points 47 minutes ago (1 children)

And he'll vote Republican again in 26 and 28

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 1 points 23 seconds ago

At least he's old and will age out of voting soon!

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

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."

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 52 points 3 hours ago

Fucking moron.

[–] Switorik@lemmy.zip 94 points 4 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 73 points 3 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 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 9 points 2 hours 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.

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago

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

Right?!

“I wish more of my bones were broken”

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 8 points 3 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 14 points 3 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 8 points 3 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 9 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 hours ago (3 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.

[–] faltryka@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago* (last edited 39 minutes ago)

Exactly, there was a huge covid boom for lumber mills and the market got saturated. Now all those small shops that opened during the boom can’t survive on the post Covid margins and are shutting down.

As much as Trump is a shitbag, this is probably more likely tied to changing mill economics post covid.

[–] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 hour ago

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

Redtarded is the correct term.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 29 points 4 hours ago (4 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.

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”

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

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 7 points 3 hours ago

Votes Trump even after this.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 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
