Anyone who voted based on comments other people made deserve the shitty country they have. Voting shouldn’t be like a YouTube comment section.
I’ve never understood that mindset. It sounds like the logic of a child who only gets more angry and nasty when you tell them they’re misbehaving.
To be fair, most people’s logic behind electoral choices is pretty weak. When people say they’re voting for a candidate because the people on the other side are sneering loudmouths, that’s not really true. The vast majority of people would vote the same way regardless, they might just feel even better about their choice. There is some effect of not wanting to be in the company of people who seem loony or racist or deplorable or smug, etc. That’s perfectly understandable, but as I said I don’t think many votes are affected.
