Zip it. The adults are talking. You didn't listen to us when we said that elections can have serious consequences. Now we are here. This is where we are at. You think politics is funny? You think that voting to "own the libs" or "making the snowflakes cry" is a joke? Well it isn't. It's mean and cruel. And dare I say abusive. The one part of the body you should never, under any circumstances listen to when you vote is your asshole. But you did.
You threw a temper tantrum and cried like spoiled fucking children during the previous administration. Now you have given us the most hateful, vindictive asshole in American history. A guy who repeatedly abuses his power and strokes his own ego with his unsecured iPhone every day. A guy who, all he cares about is ratings and how good he looks on his favorite TV show. A guy who treats women like objects and thinks that he has to be the most powerful person in the room. A guy who ignores facts, denies reality, and thinks that abusive conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones are "real news". And when we're in the middle of a crisis guess what? He doesn't give a shit about you or me. He'd prefer to play golf and watch his favorite TV shows kiss his ass.
Well guess what? This Coronavirus that's going around? He created this crisis to improve his ratings. Because all he cares about is gol and watching TV. He's completely unequipped to handle any real crisis. But you know what? This is entirely on you. You helped create this. All the deaths that are happening and going to happen? That's also on you.
You know what else this is going to effect? Your wallet. Because the forthcoming economic crash that's going to come of this once the dust has been settled will be unlike anything we've ever seen. And that's also on you. Because no one can go anywhere, do anything, buy anything. Everything is shut down. Everything that makes life fun is almost entirely shut down. Everything that keeps the economy rolling is either shutting down or changing drastically. And when this pandemic hits your supply chain, you are going to feel it in your wallet. This is a crisis the likes of which we have never seen before. And it's entirely on you.
And so much of this could have been prevented if you voted with your brain and we had a functioning government. A president with government experience who listens to experts and doesn't wait for fucking Fox And Friends or Sean Hannity to tell them how to think. Someone who reacts and is not just reactionary. Your "Washington Outsider" experiment failed, and it failed big. But you didn't listen, and this should be the ultimate lesson. Just, you should take this time and think about your actions and don't vote to be a cruel asshole. Because your vote says a lot about you and how we got here. You voted to be mean and cruel. Go sit in the corner, you can come back when you learn the price.

(25,471 posts)A group of them convinced Congressman Leo Ryan to travel to Guyana to check out the settlement. Others asked to leave with Ryan at the conclusion of his visit, causing Jones to panic and one of his followers went after Ryan with a knife. Ryan escaped that incident, but he and four others were ambushed and killed at the airport while boarding their charter flights out. The mass suicide happened shortly thereafter. Some escaped into the jungle and more survived because they were elsewhere in Guyana at the time.

(25,471 posts)Haven't seem to found it yet, though if people start dying in large numbers, I would think some would have second thoughts.
Of course, he'll just blame it on everyone else and some will believe him.
