It's not like she and others like her (and now or soon to be in the same sort of predicament) weren't warned.

It's not like we didn't try to warn her.

It's not like we didn't try to tell her the truth, and offer her a sensible, viable, realistic, honest, and trustworthy alternative.

What I find myself mumbling a lot, lately, is "hey, nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to vote for him. YOU did this. YOU did this willingly, even enthusiastically. You were totally played. You were warned. YOU BUILT THIS. Now you have to live in it."

I'm not one bit sad for her. The only thing I'm sad about is that the rest of us are forced to live in it, too.
