This song always plays in my head when I read stuff like this. I just replace the lyrics between the "dum dum dum dum dum's" to fit the new dumb, conservative topic I'm reading about.

Hahaha go to hell, billionaires. May your enterprises crash and burn
I think we should have empathy for people that were fooled into voting for Trump with the promise of prosperity. Working people should be voting for a party that actually supports the middle class, and Republicans had better (albeit untruthful) messaging there.
Whatever their reasons, if the voters are seeing the consequences of their actions and reflecting I'm going to forgive them. It sucks that it came to this, but if people are learning from their mistakes, we might be able to push back in a couple of years. I have less empathy for those that haven't changed their minds. I have zero empathy for people that voted for Trump out of hate.
Too late.
Too bad.
So sad.
Serves him right on 2 counts, voting that way, and depending on government, any government, for security.
The leviathan giveth and the leviathan taketh away.
Man, fuged every stupid people.
I for one hope Trump and team burn everything to the ground so everyone loses in the end.
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.
"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.
