Well ain't that a shame.

The first casualties of US President Donald Trump's trade war are 60 workers at Mid-Continent Nail, America's largest nail manufacturer. They lost their jobs on June 15 at a factory in a part of Missouri that voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The whole company could be out of business by Labor Day.
They'll still vote for the rich white oligarch, because, well.
Awesome, one Trump supporting hornet's nest down, many more to go.
tough shit. these idiots turned their back on american principles and human decency to support a racist idiot. they get what they deserve. too bad we're all on the same sinking shipI've said for decades that stupid is supposed to hurt, but dammit, I hate seeing American jobs get sent to a foreign country...even "menial labor" types of jobs like making nails.
This is unlikely to change the political views of the laid-off workers...and will probably push them deeper into the fold.
The beatings will continue until morality improves.I've said for decades that stupid is supposed to hurt, but dammit, I hate seeing American jobs get sent to a foreign country...even "menial labor" types of jobs like making nails.

I don’t wish unemployment on anyone but starting a trade war is one of the few things Trump promised during the campaign that he wasn’t lying about. This sort of thing was entirely foreseeable.
If voting for this guy costs them their livelihood and that makes them want to vote for him even more then it’s hard to see what could possibly reach them. Sometimes people are just too far gone.
Republican Medicaid cuts will reach them. In an actuarial sense...
Yep, and thru that pain they will either vote differently and admit they were wrong, or they will die from diseases that were either curable/preventable if they only had insurane.
Their call.

Yep, in any case, I don't really care, do you?Yep, and thru that pain they will either vote differently and admit they were wrong, or they will die from diseases that were either curable/preventable if they only had insurane.

That's unfortunate problem, but inflicting pain on Republicans is part of the solution.They'll reach more people than that. Justice for a relatively few fools is no excuse for the misery that it inflicts on many more.

Inflict pain on those who vote to inflict pain. I certainly find that POV satisfactory.There's no satisfaction in that POV. We can't allow ourselves to see that as a good thing. We merely join the race to the bottom.
