  This is an awful way to think.

  You should want people to not be impoverished regardless of who they voted for.

    I want anyone who voted trump to suffer the way they want my trans kids to suffer.

    You can fuck off with your high horse dogshit.

      I appreciate your opinion, but even out of your own self-interest, you should want people to be living above the poverty line.

      Part of what strengthened Fascism and Nazism is extreme poverty, so it’s shortsighted and silly to root for this.

        I wonder how many people living below the poverty line have substantial investments in the stock market though

        Enough people voted for this, or didn’t vote against it. Maybe if they get what they wanted then they’ll realize it was a bad idea. Or maybe they won’t and we can all suffer for it.

        Yeah, I get what you’re saying, but fuck all that; they’ve burned all empathy I had for them out of me in November.

        Let them all suffer. Badly.

    Actions have consequences. And these lead addled limp dick obsoletes have dodged the consequences of their actions for 6 or 7 too many decades.

    NO.

    Their votes make the current world worse.

    You should want people to not be impoverished, hence advocate against them voting for impoverishment. Stupidity voting stupidly is bad, you saying “but regardless….” Is actually worse…

    “Let people vote stupidly; you should let them…” is the dumbest possible take.
