    Yeah… I know they’ll blame someone else. That won’t save them though, will it? Their face still got eaten. At this point, I’ll take that.

          Those people need legitimate cult deprogramming. The reason they haven’t learned anything in 8 years is because their cult leaders have lied to them on every issue and convinced them that everything wrong is because of the liberals.

          This is the danger of the echo chambers the internet has created.

          The point I was trying to make with that is they will continue to actively screw over themselves and everyone else but the oligarchy, again and again and again. I don’t take glee in this futility because the consequences are dire, even for the hubristic. If they got just a pie in the face or something merely unflattering, sure, laugh it up; but if somebody is dying because they can’t get the health care they need, or they lose their home because the economy tanked, or their friend gets deported, etc., because of what they enthusiastically voted for, then that is tragic, and this tragedy is manifold by the repetition of their inability to recognize what they have done.

            I’m done. My empathy has run out. It’s become strikingly clear to anyone who’s been paying attention that these people have no ability to reason. Until something directly affects them, they do not care. So, let it affect them. I will no longer protect those who only wish to hurt others from their own actions. They’ll learn, or they’ll ruin their own lives too. I’ll take either one at this point.
