The people getting shot are not Trump voters at this point. More specifically, people that are opposed to absolutely destroying other countries are the first ones targeted.
Even if we all suffered perfectly evenly, only 22% of Americans voted for Trump. Please keep the other 78% in mind.

I realize there’s a lot of nuance and detail around who’s to blame, I’m generalizing. Another way to see that stat though is that only 21% opposed fascism.

Even looking strictly at the voting population, Trump got less than 50% of the votes; more people voted “not Trump” than voted for him. That’s before you account for the majority of 90 million non-voters holding left leaning views (studies say irregular voters are as low as 40% republican voters) with either no acceptable candidate to support or living under voter suppression.
Did you know it’s possible to with the presidency with as low as 23% of the popular vote? Guess which color states have a massively oversized impact on the electoral college…

That’s the infamous gerrymandering I’ve read about? Still you are all part of the imperialist machine with your taxes contributing to the bombings of brown people. But I understand that many of you don’t want this, just like I live in a comfy semi-socialist state in the west yet my government has no problems selling weapons to aggressors.
