    I’m not even mad at the trump supporters. I’m mad at the elements of the other 2/3s of the country that have probably spent every day leading up to and after the election bitching about how horrible Trump is but couldn’t be fucking bothered to get out to vote to prevent his ass from getting elected.

      Yeah. Trump supporters are stupid and loud. But they are also engaged. They’re engaged with an alternate reality entirely devoid of facts, but engaged.

      I’m much more concerned about the masses that are too stupid to understand what a democracy is, why it’s important, and therefore, are totally disengaged.

      That level of carelessness is outright terrifying.

      Democracy is a vaccine we must continue to develop and administer on a regular basis or we will succumb to the cancer that is…well… anything else.

      They are Trump supporters. Not voting is also decision. You vote “I’m fine with whoever wins”.
