If I remember correctly, a lot of people just didn’t vote, which means the people who did vote to stay just got screwed that much harder

DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoYou know, I said a similar thing about Brexit. To a British person. In their face. While being way less intoxicated than I care to admit. And she replied a thing that still resonates with me to this day. She said that I have to remember that there were a significant number of people who didn’t vote Leave, and they’re now being fucked over as well. They didn’t want that, they didn’t vote for that, and yet they still have to live with the consequences. And leaving the country is not an option for most people.
Remember that when you talk about what “y’all Texans” voted for. Have some empathy and compassion for the people that did the right thing and still have to live through this shit now. Learn from my mistake.
It’s been, idk, six years or something since, and I still cringe at least once a week thinking about how ignorant I was. Never had/took the chance to apologize either.

I think it’s implied that this is targeted at people who voted Trump. Of course I feel bad for the people who voted Harris, but now have to deal with the same bs. Same thing for Brexit. At least that is how I understand it.

If Britain had reentered the EU, began to stabilize, and voted to Leave a second time, the analogy would be fair. But as it is, Americans that voted for trump or didn’t vote on morality reasons, had ALL of the evidence, and consequently I think deserve to be reminded of that. In my experience people that voted Blue are pretty happy to share that and jump of the “Have the day you voted for” train.
