More like acknowledging reality. There is no help for people who vote directly against their self-interests. And I have nothing - nothing - to spare for a population who could have kept our country from going into the fire and refused, because they had to make a statement about not getting everything they want. Fuck them. They're on their own with Trump and Bibi. They are welcome to exactly what they voted for. There are groups in the United States who tried desperately to prevent Trump from getting into office and persecuting them, instead of voting like a toddler with a tantrum. That's who I'm reserving my care for.
