    That’s exactly what they voted for…

    collectively, yes–and there are consequences which flow from that, yes, at least for some offices.[1] but in Texas alone there are five million people, before non-voters and third party voters, who voted for Biden. i’m pretty sure those people don’t deserve to suffer just because slightly more people in their state voted for a ghoul.


    1. Texas is of course quite gerrymandered, so “vote them out” is not exactly a universal option for people. ↩︎

      Even the people who did vote for this and othwr idiocy don’t deserve to die in the cold for their mistakes. They deserve to live, as anyone does, and they deserve the chance to learn from their mistakes.

        yeah, that’s the corollary here: the fact that there are consequences for doing a dumb thing doesn’t mean people should inherently suffer for doing the dumb thing.
