Yes, they do. But if they contributed to their own inability to do so, it is on them.

I refuse to lose rights and freedoms because of these asshole votes and then be expected to be sympathetic to them. That's bullshit and you know it, you're just gaslighting.

If they want to paint me as the fucking enemy when I'm just trying to help - then I'll become the fucking enemy.

Because America is famous for having highly knowledgeable voters who follow politics closely... Yeah right.

Many people wouldn't be able to explain even a single policy or elaborate on why they voted for who they did beyond "vibes". Plenty of people did not know what they were actually voting for, and recent polling reflects that fact.

People are stupid and some are shitty, but in the end they are still just working people and deserve security.

Are you sure you didn't vote red?
