I actually really like seeing these.
You dumbs fucks did this to yourselves, the unfortunate part is that they were not smart enough to understand what was really happening and what was going to happen.
The unfortunate part is all the misery they will cause for the good people (and I don't mean one political party or another).
The enshittification of the world (which has been happening for a while) is picking up speed because of these dumb fucks.
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 -
Austin Wade Petersen (born February 19, 1981) is an American writer, political activist, commentator, and broadcaster. He is the host of the Wake Up America show daily newscast. He was the runner-up for the Libertarian Party's nomination for President of the United States in 2016,[1] finishing second place to Gary Johnson with 21.9% of the vote.[2][3]

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)
He's so close to making that connection
Is he though
People like this are dumb as fuck and deserve their misfortune.
You're not part of the club, dumbass.
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
FAFO, dipshit!
I will never get tired of seeing posts here
Notice that they voted for "Trump" but that it's "government" that damaged their business. Curious.

Yea fuck this man sideways.
Oh no Trump took away my buisness with his economic policies. At least I can rest easy knowing that we're legislating child genitals
These idiots really don't understand how it works, do they? "trans the kids"
nobody was transing the kids, idiot Austin. That's not how anything worked.
Honestly the best response to that kind of thing is just "lol based" completely short-circuits them
"Easy there snowflake. Did you forget to take your testosterone booster today? You out here crying like a pussy ass lib."
based
So fetch.

I feel thoroughly owned. Well done.
The de minimus exemption was never meant to be used as a loophole by any business, big or small. He's basically admitting tax fraud. "I bought lots of sub $800 orders to avoid paying taxes and it's the only thing that kept me profitable!"
Thats not it at all. Theres a big difference between 15% import taxes and 200%
that is what the de minimis loophole is though, and it is ideologically consistent with tariffs and trumps economic view so it is what he voted for
Look, he voted for Trump too. Clearly the guy doesn't think anything through or even have good ideas.
That's sounds roughly equivalent to "structuring" in the money laundering industry.
But he owned the libs, right?
Owned himself to own the libs. Good work, buddy, you sure showed 'em. 🙄
Clearly he was a lib as well

It's the only way they'll learn... If only they were capable of learning.
