They were tricked. Do they deserve to die because they believed a lie? I don’t think so. Human suffering is human suffering. In my experienced opinion, whether or not they brought it upon themselves through their own stupidity/ignorance/obstinacy, it is still human suffering. That is still a toll in human life measurable in mass graves, and saying they deserve to suffer, struggle, and die is sick. Coal miners in Virginia are dying of black lung faster than their grandfathers did. Farms that feed us are collapsing because of tariffs–meaning your food is going to disappear too. Water, power, and electricity are going to disappear overnight. They are killing themselves faster than they’re killing us. Yes, because of shitbags they voted for. Many of them, they were lied to for their entire lives. If you were raised in any dogmatic belief and had to face the struggle against coming to terms with reality like I have, maybe you’d have a heart and at least give a damn about their lives. Maybe because, even if they’re fools and they got what they voted for, they’re human too. Dehumanization is the first step to a purge. The same mental glitch that they have fallen victim to exists in your brain too. You are not immune to propaganda. Take it from someone who knows.
