What a strange reply.

Lot of that going on these days!

You seem awfully defensive of this guy. Did I hit a nerve of some kind?

Not at all.
I just think there's a lot of virtue signaling going on, considering that OP is excoriating a guy that he doesn't know, not knowing the guy's back story, at all (other than what his wife told the viewing audience).

I just think it's weird to get huffy about one guy. It's clear that his wife has no problem with him. She chooses every day to be there with him.

That goes on on this board every day.
We act upon the information we have at hand. It’s just a message board.

I am excoriating him for being a weak man who has no pride and is complaining about an issue while supporting the very party that created the issues he claims are holding him and his family back. Instead of fighting he is asking for handouts on national TV.
Those are all pretty easy conclusions to come to watching the video.

If you knew what all I owned prior to that you would understand that the gas station was nothing in comparison. It was a small station in a small podunk town on a state highway. It was 50 years old when I bought it to flip.
I was a co-owner in a cabinet, flooring, and granite store. Owned rent houses, lots in subdivisions, and a large tract of land I bought to develop. I had to sell it all at a huge discount/loss and even sold my personal house. All of that money went to pay off bills, subcontractors, credit accounts at supply stores, etc. I had nothing left except for the gas station and barely had money to keep it afloat at first. The easy way would have been to file bankruptcy but I didn't want to do that to people who I owed money to who worked for me as subs.
The gas station was meant to be a flip when I first bought it right before things collapsed but I had to hold on to it for a while to make ends meet. I hated it because of the location, the meth heads in the town who stole from it and the employees who also stole from me. Never again but I am thankful I had it at the time.

Typical of male progressives.
No self confidence, everything happens by luck or at random.

It’s external vs internal locus of control. Thats the difference between our two competing vision. It’s why Progressivism is a failing FEMINIZED movement and Trump populism is the masculine antidote to it. Man up. Do your best. Look within. Hustle. Win.

Likely also chooses to lay with many others.

Not just Republican vs. Democrat, but there's also a generational angle too. Millennials and Zoomers have such a sense of entitlement that they don't want to put in the work. Hell, I'm 50, but I still pick up 10-20 hours/week of OT just because I want to get ahead as much as possible before retirement in 4 years. If supporting your family means that you have to work 3 jobs, then you work 3 jobs.

This is the difference between Republican and Democrat men. Some are willing to work for it and others want to be told what to do and be taken care of by the Government. Traditional roles exist for a reason. The man in the video should work his fingers to the bone providing for his family if need be but I bet he works his one job with very little ambition for anything more. This guy is so blind that he has no idea what his role is supposed to be and instead, he wants to blame everything else because it's the easy way out.
I get inflation has hurt many but my father dealt with it in the late 70s and early 80s and still provided for us by working harder and other sacrifices. My mom even got a job which is something he tried to avoid and I know hurt his pride some but he swallowed his pride to push forward.
I am in the age group that I never had to deal with insane inflation as the head of the household until now and thankfully I am pretty well established but I was only 28 in 2008 and I lost pretty much everything. I was a RE developer and builder and no one bailed me out. When the dust settled I still owned a gas station but that was making nickels at a time. It paid the bills I had but not enough to get ahead. I didn't cry about it and instead, I ran the gas station and went back to working as a contractor taking on jobs where I could land them. I was working morning until night running two businesses but I fought hard to build again. No one gave me anything and I wasn't even married which would have probably made the climb back easier as I could have delegated some things to my spouse.
I just don't understand victim mentality like the guy in the video. What a weak man.
agree 100% with this
what i see is dems fall into a couple different camps
1) Rarest- ultra rich, usually family money, and have zero concept of what actual normal people deal with daily. doesnt like trump because of literal mean tweets
2) most common- zero hustle. usually has never had a pot to piss in and was the class clown in high school and never amounted to shite or they are the weird kid who went to college but went for something useless and is now upset that he has a mountain of debt, is still seen weak AF and is not desirable to women
i know plenty of lower class people and i will say that the thing that has ignited them the most is
1) wanting a better future for their kids and they see Kamala as a commie
2) the no tax on OT is huge for them. These guys are willing to work 84+ hours a week to support their family but they are tired of getting killed in taxes while killing themselves.

“Rich” people sitting in what looks like a fairly luxurious place asking how the govt will take from others to help them…fricking disgusting.

This is a good point too. I am almost a millennial (born in '79) and the older millennials aren't as bad as the younger ones but there is a noticeable difference.

There is such a pushback on OT by younger generations of not wanting to work it at all even if it is not taxed. That same group are the types to get on TV and bitch about not being able to make it. It's insane to me.
When I was in college I worked in the plants as a scaffold builder for two separate summers. Give me that OT.

Where were all the empathetic progs jumping in line to give you a living wage? Funny they are never around when you need them but like moths to a flame they will be there to leech from you when you are top of the world.
Progs all love to champion Darwin but damn they would be the first taken down by the lions if we were back in the jungle.
