    Small business owners tyrants voted for Trump by significant margins. I’ve seen reports that it was upwards of 15 to 20 points versus Harris.

    I suspect that number has gone down a bit if for no other reason then many of them are no longer small business owners due to Trump’s policies forcing them to close.

    So while I feel for the employees of these businesses, I can’t say that I feel too bad when I read about the schmucks who voted themselves out of business.

      Just like it doesnt make sense to divide people on demographics, we shouldnt villainise busoness owners as a monolith based on voting stats. Thats still millions who voted for harris or others. Instead we should yake yhe data and learn from ot and look at policies that might appeal to business owners that could be absent and a reason they voted for trump en masse.
