some arrogant authoritarian assholes. They do not connect them with their own lives.
On the other hand, gotta mention that it is disheartening, voting for someone and having them win and just calmly do something else. So - why get all invested in what happens after election day? For many, that's when the outrage and calling and emailing and asking the politician they voted into office - to do what they said they would do. Or start hearing excuses why they cannot.
