Not only do they not understand that, but they don’t even want to. I’ve read so many comments and answers just here on Quora alone where they’re all either very smugly insisting that they’re delighted with the election results and that now “the country will be what it’s supposed to be,” or they’re whining about losing friends and family members because of their extremely deluded and disastrous choice—-and they seriously seem to think that they’re the victims here.

They “victimized” the rest of us by putting an unquestionably sociopathic, narcissistic, truly evil person into the highest office perhaps in the world, and yet they’re happy about the way it turned out? They actually admire him for being “as smart as Hitler was?” They seriously think that he’s going to do anything for them, given his chummy and very close butt-buddy relationship with Elon Musk and like “elites?” (Didn’t they used to say they first voted for Trump because he wasn’t one of “the elites?” How ironic that he’s now been bought by the biggest “elite” in the world.) And they’re truly astounded that anyone would decide to cut whatever cords that tied them to those they used to be close to?

Pardon my French (no insult intended to the French people), but what the fuck did they expect? If someone they claim to care about is going to get a royal screwing from the soon-to-take-office (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little at that one) dictator-wannabe—and very well will be—and his far-right, literally fascist agenda and they made it happen by voting for him, do they really expect their once-close family member or friend to say, “Well, that’s okay—you just voted to take my SS retirement away and to abolish the ACA, which is the only healthcare system I can afford and on which my whole family depends, and on top of that you voted for someone to have absolute power and control over every single facet of my life, all the way down to whom I love and marry and what I say in public or private? AND you know he’s already said he’s going to make everything more expensive by instituting tariffs on foreign-made goods, that he really isn’t going to be able to reduce grocery prices after all, and that he’s going to wreak havoc on the economy by deporting millions of immigrants who practically make up the whole farming industry? Well, hey, that’s okay; it’s not your fault—you do you”? (Of course, that’s provided any MAGAT could even understand that, which wouldn’t be a very sure bet.)

I very fortunately don’t even have any MAGA friends—I wouldn’t have any MAGA friends—-but I have cousins and their families who are down-home redneck Southern Baptist evangelical Trumpsters through and through—-and every one of them are dead to me. I don’t communicate with them anymore. I don’t care what they think. I wouldn’t even attend their funerals if they were to literally die now. And on Quora, where I used to let anyone say anything they wanted on my posts, if any MAGAt tries to post a single word on them now, the author is just quietly blocked, muted, and deleted. I don’t tell them; I don’t even (virtually) speak to them at all. They’re just gone; I don’t even read their moronic comments beyond the least amount of words necessary to identify them as Trumpsters. I can tell by the first few words—-most people can—-and it’s B/M/D. Into the great black Void.

Hey, they asked for this. They don’t get to play the injured innocent now that they’ve literally destroyed so many people’s lives and livelihoods. They knew what they were inviting into the White House. It’s not like they weren’t aware that the viper was a viper; that’s exactly what they want him to be—-as long as his venom doesn’t creep into their bloodstreams. It will, of course; it’ll poison the whole world, let alone America, and then they’ll be saying, “But we didn’t think he meant us!” They’re already saying that—-evidently it’s fine and dandy for Trump to thoroughly nuke everything and everybody else, as long as it doesn’t affect them. And they still think anyone with two brain cells to rub together would want a “friend” like that?

Not I. Every MAGAt currently wasting valuable oxygen simply by being here and breathing it in might as well not be as far as I’m concerned; like my redneck cousins, they’re dead to me. And I don’t give a ripe fuck about them or their opinions. As long as they stay off my feed and out of my space, I don’t even acknowledge their existence. And if they do attempt to cross over into my area, they’re simply sent off into the Void.

Hey , you break it; you bought it. That has never been more true than it is now. They made that flea-and-tick-ridden bed; now they can just lie in it. Case effing closed.

(Seen on Quora. I feel the same way)
