It is very hard to feel pity for people who only feel pity for themselves, and never for others.

He voted for him twice and says would vote a third time. What a pathetic piece of shit.
Its not a sports team, and people like this don't understand that you don't just vote one way because its the team you cheer for. Vote for what affects your life in the most positive way.
This dumb ass got what he deserves.
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I do disagree with your reasoning
Personally I don't vote for what affects my life in the most positive way, because that seems a little selfish although it's understandable.
I vote for what I believe affects everyone's life more positively, even if it's not necessarily a benefit to my specific situation. I might not be gay but I would vote for the candidate who supports gay marriage vs the one that might give me a $1000 check for tariff profits.
...pathetic piece of terminally stupid shit.
"I've got far left leaning friends" sure pal. That has, "I have a black friend so I can't be racist" vibes. Have the day you voted for.
to everyone in America who is suffering, I feel you you, unless they were MAGA, in which case eat shit you garbage of a human being
Are they being mocked, or are people just pointing out the reality of the situation?
well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions
When you're delusional reality becomes your enemy.
I mean, I haven't read anything specific to this case but knowing the internet and knowing how people treat others regarding "leopards eating faces"
It's almost guaranteed they were being mocked.
He should be mocked and ridiculed until it penetrates his tiny brain that he is part of the problem and he is getting what he deserves.
He can get a job as a picker on another farm. Maybe one owned by a big corporation. Maybe his own former farm once it's sold. They are freeing up work conventionally done by imigrant workers, right? Hard work pays off under conservatives, right?
The backlash prompted a second video from the man, in which he dropped several F-bombs while criticizing the apparent heartlessness of those celebrating his hardship.
Heartless shit upset that his vote to cause extreme hardship for others is actually causing hardship in his own life. Imagine throwing rocks at people and expecting sympathy when one bounces back and hits you in the face.
~~May you live in interesting times.~~ May you live in the times you voted for.
Its so hard for these people to understand that when you spew hate at others, whether through your actions, your words, or through your ballot, that people have less empathy for your than other people that might experience similar hardships and haven't been spewing hate.
The whole comparison of "you laughed at Charlie thing, and now we're laughing at ice killing" is so hard for these people to understand why most sane people view these deaths differently.
Person C spent his entire life spewing hate and saying some crazy shit that puts other people down, or in danger with his gun laws thinking, etc.
Person R was just a normal person, not spewing hate as a career.
Cue the shocked Pikachu face when they realize I care more about person R, than person C.
Similarly, if this person voted for Trump and lost his farm, I'm gonna have a lot less sympathy for him, than someone who voted against Trump, and lost his farm.
Honestly I feel that memes can somewhat help break it down to a format even these chuckle fucks could understand if they wanted to.

I don’t think the issue is lack of understanding, they’re operating on faith logic where theyre looking for validation not information.
The whole comparison of “you laughed at Charlie thing, and now we’re laughing at ice killing” is so hard for these people to understand why most sane people view these deaths differently.
The primary difference here is that Charlie was murdered by a citizen who was arrested as soon as his identity was uncovered and is now in custody.
Renee Good was murdered by a federal agent that has the full support of the federal government and will likely never be arrested or face any accountability.
At this point, it’s not even about economics anymore—it’s a moral failure. You can't claim to love your country while cheering for policies that ruin your fellow citizens, only to cry when the bill finally comes for you too.
My UK family always used to ask what makes Canadians different from USAians, as they saw us all as America. And it was hard to describe.
But talking to US coworkers lately I found a common theme: While Canadians may not seem very patriotic, we do work towards a common goal of making a society better for all.
In the US every comment I hear from coworkers is "I Got Mine, so I ain't worried." And made me realize USA thinks patriotism is living as an individual in a grand country, but not actually caring about their country as a whole.
On one hand he voted exactly for this.
On the other hand, he is a worker that was systematically exploited to be less educated about political affairs and then exploited further by having his work taken from him.
It's shitty that people relish in the suffering of another but it only takes a room temp IQ to have realized Trump was a con man in 2016. It took even less intelligence to realize Trump was unfit to lead in 2020. Voting for him post Jan 6th? You're a fucking traitor.
It doesn't take much education to know what a lying, fascist sack of shit Trump is.
With cleverer, more sneaky politicians, I might pity the man who didn't know. Not with this one. All the morons who voted for Trump knew exactly what they were doing.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. These people are both stupid and so propagandized so as to be effectively cult members, nothing will change until the propaganda sources are annihilated and their economic backers hanged, butchered, and burned to ash.
No. He has access to all the same information we all had. He chose not to care. Ignorance is not an excuse anymore.
It is interesting to read the coverage. Many of us didn't relish anything. We find it ironic, we find it good for the lulz, and we ask ourselves, "Do you think he learned anything?" followed by the observation, "Meh, probably not. Reality never interested him, so why should things be different now?"
We don't want Trump supporters to get fucked. Rather, we want to live in a world where Trump can't fuck over anyone. But that's not the situation right now, and karma's a motherfucker.
I know it's tempting to mock people who are leaving MAGA but actually the better thing to do is seize the opportunity to educate them and hopefully get them to never vote Republican ever again.
republicans are so fucking stupid
Actually, that's not the issue. Like, for real, I'm not trying to mock you it anything like that; I submit disagree with the premise.
The problem is fear, not lack of intelligence. They're cowards. Fear can, and will, make fools of the smartest people. But really, what's the common theme in literally all Republican messaging? Fear.
You have to be stupid to be afraid of the things they say you should be afraid of.
The more those metaphorical leopards eat their face, the more radicalized against Trump they might become, and the more radicalized, the better.
i had to eat notebook paper as a child, suffer beatings, and survive homelessness. pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get good, i guess?
Did I know he was going to increase the tariffs? Yes, I did. However, I thought that the infrastructure would be set up prior for small business to come back to America and manufacture in America.
No, you were told what the result would be. You knew the outcome. You decided to follow your cult instead of common sense. You got what you voted for. I only wish everyone else didn’t have to suffer because of your evil.
I work in logistics. The whole industry has been saying amongst ourselves the whole time there's barely a chance that suppliers of assembled goods will move the majority of their warehouses of manufactured products to the US. Let alone the manufacturing itself.
Absolutely delulu.
When Trump first started talking about tariffs this is exactly what everybody said. Unless you also introduce schemes to assist with setting up infrastructure in the US then the tariffs are not going to have the desired effect.
Nobody is going to set up a factory if there's every possibility that the tariffs will go away at some point in the next 4 years. Not unless the cost of setting up that factory is ameliorated somehow. Otherwise companies are just going to accept they're going to get fewer orders from the US for the next few years.
Especially if setting up a factory in another country means that your staff are likely to get abducted by ICE for no reason.
Well 0 fucks given. Anyone Saying this wasn't told to them a million times doing the election are either fucking stupid and shouldn't vote, or clearly living in a fucking vacuum on Fox planet.
Is there any reason to believe that he wouldn't vote for him a 3rd time?
He didn't get shot in the head and left to bleed out, so what's his fucking problem?
The worst part of owning the world's tiniest violin is having to look for it so damn often.
Seriously, bud. It's a damn shame that you voted to hurt people and ended up getting hurt yourself. I almost think it would have been better not to elect a nazi asshole.
"How could the Leopards I voted for eat MY face???"

Typical reaction, get mad when they can't have it both ways in their benefit while watching others suffer. Fuck that guy.
Narcissism: I'm right, me, me me, me me me. Wait, I'm wrong, pity me, me, me me me. How dare you blame me, for being a victim, poor victim me, me, me me me. Lol, someone else, who cares lololol lmao.

That's exactly what you voted for. He literally told he'd do that. He's delivering exactly what he promised.
That can't be accurate. Certainly he is being mocked offline as well.
The backlash prompted a second video from the man, in which he dropped several F-bombs while criticizing the apparent heartlessness of those celebrating his hardship..
They voted GOP to hurt others, then get upset they were caught in the cross fire and when looking for empathy are shunned
There a word for that /s
These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:
-
Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
-
The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
-
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
-
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
-
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
Wheelhead got exactly what he voted for. And Republicans have the answer: grab those bootstraps.
