Can you imagine how much better the world would be if:
That's all it would take. They wouldn't have to commit to doing better research next time. They wouldn't have to try to defend some of what Trump did, or decide which GOP candidates are actually being honest. Just say "Wow, I fucked up. I shouldn't vote."
It's like an alcoholic who wakes up in a puddle of their own puke. They can try to be more careful in their drinking. Or, they can decide "I can't be trusted around alcohol". But, it's not like voting in a controlled way is fun, the way moderate drinking could be fun. Voting is a chore. It should be a relief to be able to say "I don't have to pay attention anymore, I'm a gullible idiot, let other people take the reins".
That would take humility something most Trump voters don't have in my experience. Seriously the fucken ego on some of them makes my literal ego filled Southern Aristocrat ancestors seem like fucken monks, mind you that's just the boomers and gen X ones in my experience with younger ones just being stupid or mentally ill in my experience.
That probably wouldn’t do as much good as the people who didn’t vote at all got off their ass.
Including the ones who would have voted for Trump? Including the ones who live in states where the outcome is so one-sided that their votes would not have changed anything? Why is it that you think somehow people who didn't vote are more responsible than the ones who did?
Sounds like you didnt vote and personalizing this and been cooking that defense for a bit.
Everyone who was gonna vote for Trump did. They got paid to
Either way: get out and vote. Don't be an ass. It is your one and one one job to do to prevent this shit and you failed at that this time. Don't you ever ever forget that. No one else will.
What makes you think I live in the USA?
Wow... And I suppose Trump is actually a lizard wearing human skin?
