This is why America deserves everything it voted for this time around.
A lot of people are going to suffer who didn't vote for him. This is as callous as the fascists.
there are alot of voters that didn't vote *at all *.
Can you see how that doesn't change the response you replying to?
Some people didn't vote for him
Well other people didn't vote
Are two unrelated statements.
Sure and that's a sacrifice that America voted for and also literally didn't even bother voting against.
After nearly half a decade of disappointment, I this it's high time Americans felt the pain of their actions.
Conservative / fascist leaders deserve it, the rest of us do not. The kids who were too young to vote, the leftists who fight against fascism, and the workers who don't have the time to follow politics do not deserve any of what is to come.
Young voters voted for Trump. Tons of kids support him: https://www.axios.com/2024/11/07/young-men-voters-trump-2024-exit-polls
Unionized workers had grassroots support for Trump: https://www.axios.com/2024/09/18/teamsters-endorsement-harris-trump-2024
Staunch democrats sat out, or protest voted: https://www.axios.com/local/detroit/2024/11/07/why-biden-outperformed-harris-throughout-metro-detroit
Ignorantia juris non excusat. Ignorance of the law excuses not.
America is objectively, measurably, ignorant, trapped in bubbles, and we collectively did little to lift each other out. We are going to face justice for it.
Can't wait to see all the sad Pikachu faces when he guts union protections and outlaws public sector unions altogether. "Can't wait"
"Why do liberals do this to us? This is a failure of the demonrat party, next time I'm voting for Trump harder, he promised to help us"
You had me until that last group.
If you opt out of participating, you deserve whatever happens without you.
We're in this mess arguably because of all the people who chose not to participate.
The left cuts down their candidates and elected officials over any faults, while the right uplifts them regardless of any faults. Is it any surprise the Dems always look bad in comparison to an uninformed voter.
The people who voted for evil do.
The people who failed to vote against evil do, but less.
The people who voted against evil? No fuckin chance.
"America" is too wide a brush, but I get talking that way.
I deserve whatever. But my kids don't.
Not everyone voted for Trump, but even so, people don't deserve pain just because they're bad.
Stop this puritanical bs.
People that voted for bad things to happen don't deserve bad things to happen?
Wut!?
No one "deserves" pain.
Sometimes you have to apply harm to stop greater harm, but the concept of "deserving" harm is disgusting.
If you have to use violence on someone, to stop them from causing greater harm, they deserved it.
If I have to use violence on someone, I am sad that the situation is such that I have to do so, and I wish it weren't so.
This doesn't mean they don't deserve it. It just means you are sad it had to come to this. The fact that you had to resort to violence, due to how awful they are, means they deserved it. Had they not deserved it, you wouldn't have great cause to be violent. Unless you are becoming violent towards people that would respond to lesser input, they deserved it.
Nazis deserve no quarter. Learn some history, you're edging pretty close to Nazi apologia.
No, but it is a democracy and so just how the racists had to put up with Biden, now everyone else has to put up with The Racist.
OK and?
