not trying to pick on this reply in particular (sorry) but I see this sentiment a lot and I vehemently disagree with it
nobody deserves what's coming in a second Trump term
The reason we are where we are is because for about 230 years as a people we've continued to put up with a constitution which is *designed* to be anti-representative, pretended our system was the most representative in the world, and never fixed it.
Hard to blame people when only some votes count.
America is the third largest nation in the world spread across thousands of jurisdictions, many of which are institutionally corrupted so as not to be representative. In a lot of ways (and not all) it’s actually kind of a miracle it functions at all. Trump didn’t happen because of the polity.
Kansas did not deserve Brownback as governor, despite voting consistently red.
For those who don't remember, Brownback was so bad at governor he begged Trump to appoint him an ambassador in the middle of his term so he could FLEE THE COUNTRY.
It also kind of affects the whole world. I don’t like to think how Russia, North Korea and China would react to a second Trump term, but I suspect everyone would be in for dark times.
I hate it when people pull the 'you deserve it' line.
What about the people who can't vote? How about people who voted for someone else?
How about children? Marginalized people? Those who fight every single day to help their fellow man?
Even the people who vote out of ignorance don't deserve it.
It's always said as someone who only wants bad things to happen to bad people, and not to all the innocents that will be caught in the collateral damage or deliberately targeted for the crime of being a "them"
