The thing is - I feel bad for them for feeling like they are no one, for feeling like this is all they have. I can pretty easily get myself into a mindset where I want to give some of these folks a hug, and tell them they matter. I think many of us have felt worthless at times, either due to circumstances, due to depression, whatever.
But then I see what their voting habits are doing to this country and to our governing bodies, and that gets buried under piles of anger.
