He Voted For Trump. It Cost Him His Job - More Perfect Union

[In It to Win It]

In Maine, trades workers are facing catastrophic layoffs.
Why? Trump has cancelled hundreds of billions of dollars for clean energy projects to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy in his ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’
Workers who voted for him told us they’re paying the price.

1. He said what he was going to do and now the price of voting for that comes home. Dumb dumb dumb

[Justice matters.]

6. Dumbdumb was probably too busy working thanks to Joe Biden

that he never saw the convicted idiot rail against solar energy and windmills, although his stupid drill-baby-drill obsession was everywhere to be seen.

Hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs gone and the leopards are stuffed.

9. I fear my nephew will lose his job at the windmill factory, he posted a few things trumpy on FB

and he has a felony on his record so he was very lucky to land this job, three young boys, 2, 8 and 11

2. Look at the bright side.

He's not in a prison camp.

3. Yep, but probably on the waiting list to join ICE.

4. Where's the apology? No Apology, No Sympathy!

Trump voters think they have no responsibility here and I call B.S. They did this and I'm happy when I see that they are paying the price. It's only right.

5. What an idiot

I have nothing else for him

[Norrrm]

7. Congratulations! You got what you wanted... Trump in the WH.

[Shellback Squid]

8. Two daughters? He works in Solar? And he voted for the felon...how fucking stupid can you be, I fear for his kids

fuck him though...I cannot get over the level of stupidity of these magats, only regrets after he's affected, LAMF!

10. Good judgment comes from experience. Experience, well, that comes from poor judgment.

11. Unfortunately Brayden and his ilk don't get exposed to videos like this.

12. Good grief!

At 7:42

I think if he could swallow his pride. He's cutting the things that Joe Biden did that made labor so good, in the name of "I don't like Joe Biden, so I don't want to stand for anything he stood for." But you shouldn't be cutting something that your predecessor did that was good, because he was your predecessor. You should continue to build on the good things that he did.

Tell me you're a bigot without telling me you're a bigot. Harris made it clear that was her plan. Trump expressed contempt for everything Biden did.

13. That's what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you

I wish I could find more sympathy for these guys but they didn't pay the attention they should have paid and I strongly suspect they were too manly to vote for a woman.

In any casem the big money they were getting was always going to be temporary. Solar fields don't need that much maintenance once they're up and running. Those on leased land can come and go when the lease expires and the owner wants to make other use of the land. There just won;t be as much of a boom job market for electricians once the infrastructure is in place.

Guys like this never really think that far ahead and they never seem capable of paying attention. I guess I feel sorry for them in that way, I'd hate to go through life with those limitations.

I just wish they'd stop taking the rest of us with them. I mean really, stop voting, guys.

14. When you vote for a moron who has no integrity, intelligence and common sense, you're going to be screwed.

What did you think would happen, with an asshole whose slogan is “drill baby drill” and who denies climate change.

15. We could be Advancing with Solar Energy; you'd be RICHER; but unfortunately; y'all put a BUFFOON into Office.
