    i’m worried about that too, especially since many people who voted against him belong to vulnerable groups. however, i think his largely ignorant and poor supporters will get their fair share of suffering as he simultaneously destroys the economy and the social safety net

      i wish i could see that as a good thing, or a bright side, but i just don’t. even if someone chose to be tortured, they’re still getting tortured, and the only motivation for that crowd has ever been blaming us for their suffering. they will endure great torture as long as they get to wish a worse life on someone else. they will suffer, yes, but they will blame us. the mass media is already paving the road for this line of thinking, saying Kamala ran too far to the left, which to me sounds like a dog whistle for too much minority support, given how far right she ran
