The gut reaction to to laugh at the way he voted and tell him hey gets what he deserves.
He made a great follow up video on why that attitude is pushing people like him away.
It’s worth a watch. I’ll link it here.
He’s also actively trying to engage in a substantial political conversation and may be interested in changing his vote in the next cycle.

EDIT: In many ways, this community is appropriate for all the people in it.
We talk down to anyone who doesn’t vote like us, we laugh at them, and hope for their suffering. No wonder all those people hate us and want to vote against the left out of spite. Seems like we did it to ourselves as much as they did it to us.
Also, it’s funny for all the people who make fun of this guy for not doing research, but 90% didn’t actually watch any of his video, especially not the one I shared.
Unfortunately the time for civility and reaching across the aisle has ended long ago. What pushing him away is the fact that he wanted to harm other people and suddenly got harmed himself and now is crying about it and wants someone to cuddle him otherwise he will be continue to vote to harm people.
Fuck him, he should suffer, he should feel ostracised, pushed away, hurt. That's what he wanted, that's what he actively worked for.
He could try to redeem himself and all that, but until he does, he's the monster and should be percieved as such.
Fuck him. I hope his entire family ends up living under a bridge.
Nah, that guy's an idjit.
It’s too fucking late. Who gives a shit how he’s going to vote next cycle? There will not be a legitimate vote next cycle. Pushing people like him away? It’s over. There are no more chances. It’s all a show from here on out. That is not an exaggeration.
What do you know that the rest of us don't?
Presumably you have heard about the government agencies being shuttered, unvetted no-security-clearance ex-hackers being given write access to government systems, the three branches of government being controlled by the offending party, including the one that decides whether laws are constitutional or not, open embrace of fascist rhetoric, symbols, and traditional talking points, door to door ICE, election interference, widely reported foreign influence, widely reported billionaire influence, discussion from POTUS himself about annexing other countries, Jesus I could keep going for miles but it’s not remotely necessary
I don't know how you get from there to "we're never going to be able to vote again". It's only been 3 fucking weeks and people are running around like it's the end of the world.
Those examples all relate to why we will not have another legitimate election in the US. We’ll be able to vote again. It just won’t matter. Elections take place in fascist countries all over the world. They aren’t real. You cannot vote fascists out of power. They have been given power in the US and they will now keep it.
I can't see the future, and neither can you.
Nope, but I can see the very recent past, and all signs point to an already-captured government and the moneyed interests behind that capture solidifying their influence on public opinion through a similarly captured media and social media landscape.
Oh wow, the orange Hitler voter is having a crisis so we should have a reserved discussion about it to help him find his way...
Absolutely not. If you can't see the writing on the wall, it is not worth the calories to explain it. As my late grandmother used to say "If you can't listen, you'll have to feel". Hopefully he learns a lesson.
If you're voting based solely on info from tik Tok, then maybe you shouldn't be voting.
"They both hate us"
So vote for an alternative party.
I know it isn't easy, and the system is rigged, but what you're doing isn't helping.
