50. Well isn't that too fucking bad.

They are getting EXACTLY what they voted for. And if they didn't quite understand that in November of 2016, well again, that's too fucking bad. They were responsible for understanding what they were voting for, and if they somehow didn't understand, well then too fucking bad. (Somehow I feel as if I might be repeating myself.) I am so heartily sick of voters going, "OMG! I just didn't know!" as if that absolves them from responsibility. No. You vote. You are responsible for your vote. You do not get to pretend you didn't know what you were voting for. You get the consequences of that vote. Unfortunately, those of us who had the knowledge and understanding to vote for the other candidate are stuck with the results of your vote.
