You’re absolutely right, it DOESN’T feel good to see so many people getting fucked like this. We SHOULDN’T have to see this in our lifetimes. We’re SUPPOSED to be better than this.
But in this day and age, in this absolute clusterfucked circus of a timeline, some people are just so goddamn stupid, so deeply indoctrinated, and stubborn, and hateful, and all the other things we associate with modern Republican voters, that the unfortunate truth is that trying to talk to these people, and warn them of the consequences of their actions, just doesn’t work anymore. They don’t wanna hear it, and should you try to tell them, they either legitimately don’t understand, don’t give 2 shits, actively want it, or some combo of all 3 and more.
And so the only option we have left is letting the idiot blow off his fingers with the firecrackers, while trying to contain the fallout, because at this point they simply will not learn, otherwise. It’s awful, and terrible, and a nasty way to deal with it, but when the people we’re trying to help and save are so adversarial towards anyone trying to help them… all you can do is wait for them to come to you.
