That they wouldn't accept anything but the fucking asshole in charge, no matter how terrible of a job he was doing, and god forbid the "other guy" actually does something good for the country. Well guess what? It's a classic cause and effect situation - you vote for garbage, and you get garbage back in return. Elections have far, far greater consequences than which side gets "owned" on social media.
