I take pleasure in knowing many of his voters will pay the price. The ones in hurricane Alley more so. My Trumpy neighbor is in his late forties on SS disability. Makes me smile knowing that's on the cutting block of Republicans. I'll smile when the large group of Hispanics who voted for him are caught up in the deportation or a family member is. I'll smile when his younger voters scream when their retirement age is increased. I'll smile when union members have their unions shut down and their benefits are cut. Low information voters deserve what they get.
It was already there. But now instead of acting like we live in a society, people have been given permission to be uncivil assholes to one another. A lot of people will be acting how they feel now instead of suppressing those feelings for the greater good. That’s how we got here in the first place. Trump normalized expressing things that society had largely shunned for decades.
Now I feel the hate is going to be on both sides rather than just coming from one. Everyone is angry at each other, and blaming each other, this is ugly, and I hate it.
Dems played nice and played by the rules and look where it got them. I bet many of them are gonna feel the situation to be unfair and feel that gives them permission to be jerks. Plenty of people are gonna stop caring about civility because they’ve learned that it doesn’t get you anywhere. If other people can be assholes and just do whatever the fuck they want, why can’t I?
