Tuesday

Will internalize their bad choices at all? Will they have any regret, especially those that payed little or no attention to the election, and just voted for drumpf because “he’s a business man!”

Will they feel any personal shame that they believed in and voted for a complete myth that does not exist? Will they regret the deaths of the men, women and children who will die because of their uniformed choices? Because they couldn’t be bothered to invest even an hour looking into project 2025 to see the horrors inside?

I am and have been especially furious with “low information voters” who cast a ballot with all the care and attention of someone blindfolded lobbing grenades into a crowd full of people.
