    And an ignorant electorate deserves the fall of their country.

    No they don’t. That is the epitome of victim blaming.

      No that’s called actions having consequences. Sometimes when you’re a victim, it’s because you’re a dipshit and you deserve it. Not everything is 100% black and white and “victim blaming” should absolutely happen when it is deserved.

      The stupid Trump voters that are now upset he actually took away their right to choose on abortion are victims of their own stupidity and/or greed. Blame them. Shame them. Stop protecting them

      No, I think it’s a take on the word ‘deserving’ since it’s pretty open to interpretation.

      Does someone in constant pain deserve to live?

      The fall of the country is probably a good thing. We need more rational people in charge.

        Yes… because violent civil wars always lead to intelligent and rational leaders.

        Get out of here with that bullshit.

            And how does a violent civil war in the country with the largest military and most nukes help that? I am genuinely curious to hear your answer

              You came in here with that violent civil war shit. Argue against my stance, not one you made up.

                So… how does that happen peacefully without mass suffering?

                  Hypothetically it already happened once and nobody really cared. Remember that government shutdown?

        Does someone in constant pain deserve to live?

        That doesn’t really work as a comparison, because it devolves into the question “does anyone deserve to live?”

        The fact is, someone fooled by someone else doesn’t deserve the consequences. The person who deceived them is the only one that “deserves” negative consequences.
