Hopefully at least some of these people will wake the fuck up when the consequences of their voting catch up to them personally and when they do, we need their votes.
That's a better outcome than them dropping dead.
My uncle voted for Trump. I bet most DUers have family members that voted for Trump. Wishing them dead doesn't solve anything. It's the easy way out.
The actual work that we need to do is to educate and communicate so that people better understand the facts and the consequences of their choices. And you don't start that work by saying "I hope you drop dead. You deserve it, you moron."

A better question would be do they deserve more care, compassion and consideration...

Like the woman who cheered on the repeal of Obamacare because she had the awesome ACA.

They don't deserve to die but they do deserve scorn for choosing ignorance and bigotry instead.
