12. When all it takes is a few thousand to swing a State in a Federal Election,

We would hope that those voters would be aware.

When they choose to either not vote or protest vote, when it really is a binary choice in our system of government, you would think that they would be aware.

When you had one Candidate that had previously been president and was incompetent then, combined with trying to overthrow the government, we have the right to say - just what in the hell were you thinking?

And now, bad things are happening and now they are crying - why should I shed any tears for them, I have only so many tears to shed and I reserve them for the people that voted for Kamala.
