MAGGOTS” are really stupid if they think manufacturing jobs are coming back to America. There is a better chance of Lindsey Graham marrying a woman before that ever happens.😱😱
Exactly! I live in ruby red Alabama. I NEVER voted for the bastard and never would. Would I deserve it if it had been our state?
Absolutely not. Neither do these hard working people.
I have three brothers, their wives+voting kids/spouses in Iowa. Most voted republican 2-3x. They’re single issue voters (iykyk). It’s a subsidized state and their ignorance is unrelenting. These are not stupid people, but they thought their color/religion was the only protection they needed 🤷🏼♀️
None of us deserve what's happening. We've had convos with our knucklehead family members, relatives, coworkers, and neighbors. For years. We're all paying for their "oh I don't listen to the news" or "I'm not that deep" or "don't know who to believe." My fav from one bro in 2017: you're blowing
Hey, you are describing voters of our (Czechia - EU) former and unfortunately future prime minister. Old bilionairie who leads country as (his) company and knowing “what his people need”. Scenarios are similar and local damage too - rich incompetent idiot with big influence surrounded by dumbs. 🫤
The Republican senators are telling people who are getting laid off that they deserve it…note sen Jim banks from Indiana who said this to one of his constituents. He said he must have had a woke job…while admitting he really had no idea what his job was.
I agree with you. I feel that way about folks who did vote for him. Layoffs hurt kids too. This is going to be a mess, likely for millions and that doesn’t count the rest of the planet. I’m not worried about the tariffed penguins though
In this market, there will not be a lot of job opportunities available for these employees. These are the victims of collateral damage from insane policies.
Iowa went Trump by 14 points. It’s highly likely a very high portion of those getting fired voted for Trump. It’s hard to feel sorry for them as now we are all fucked.
If you voted for trump you deserve it. Sorry, that’s the truth. It’s not like people didn’t know exactly who he was unlike in 2015. I’m sorry that people that had half a brain are being effected by this, that’s what I’m sorry about. Also sorry that sniper missed..
The orange cancer won Iowa with 55.7% of the vote. He won Iowa County, where this plant is located, with 63% of the vote. They're just getting what they voted for.
Geezus, it never happened in Trump‘s first term… Why would it happen now? Oh yea, the black lady who wanted to give $25k to first time homebuyers was “unqualified while being black.” 🙄
Probably gonna say most are MAGA and deserve what they get - For those who are not part of a cult we are your brothers and sisters and share your sorrow.....
The company statement said it was to adjust to the change in consumer demand for the products manufactured at the Iowa plant. They further stated it had nothing to do with tariffs.
Oh those "tariffs" are helping our manufacturing jobs!! Look at how productive...and RICH we got! LOOK at all the jobs created...what? what happened to Whirlpool? Oh let's spin that--new headline--"Whirlpool destroyed by migrants and other country, to be named later, employees sent to El Salvador"
Just hang on. trump said folks will suffer a little until he brings it all back. Those people are not worried. They know they can pick up a job at McDonald or another burger joint. They are paying at least the republican minimum wage of $7.75/hr.
Maybe, but the worst that could happen is if you fill your heart with anger. They will also fill their heart with resentment towards others and the outcome will be a profoundly divided US, don’t let this happen. That’s what they want. If they divide, they will win.
Never accuse of malice what is better explained by ignorance. They’re here now and acknowledging the mistake. Americans need to stick together and resist this madness. All are welcome to the resistance.
All are welcome to the resistance is how resistance gets infiltrated and destroyed.
When someone does something as evil as tRUmp is doing no ignorance is explaining that. He's copying hitler and putin 1:1.
They can’t blame uncle Donald. He spoke about all horrible things he plans to bring in order to destroy America. It is their stupid belief and non-critical thinking associated with poor judgment which led them into big trouble. They voted for idiot and they got the consequence.
harsh, I understand and agree tho. But how does this help? purity tests arent going to help us join together during this American crisis. Americans fight together and win.
They did not vote in an idiot, that would not be that bad. They voted in a russian asset. russia was screaming "death to america" for decades, seems now they have achieved that. I see no way anyone ever trusts US MIC.
Proof is in the tariffs: he did not put them on russia and their closest allies.

Hopefully they can afford bus tickets to Florida to pick oranges so the kids won't have to work through the night before school. #5dollarsAnHourWages
Good job, MAGA!
No fucking sympathy!
Even if you think Trump voters deserve economic ruin, only 55% of Iowans voted for him. Far fewer, when you factor in those who didn't or can't vote
To my mind, no one deserves what is happening
Absolutely not. Neither do these hard working people.
He's prob the only one out the 3 bros who didn't vote for cheeto the third time. He's talking to other republicans often to no avail
How's your Retirement FUND Today???
FUCK YOU!!!
🤷🏾♀️
On the bright side, now we all agree with loan forgiveness, statutory healthcare, and public education!
1. Surround Self with Billionaires

8. Cut Social Security

States like Iowa have been voting for this garbage for years.
Maybe someday they will learn
But I doubt it
