That these people suffer the worst effects of what they voted for.
They'll blame Biden, Libbruls, George Soros, anyone but Trump or themselves, and there's nothing we can do about that, but it's what I wish for them nonetheless. Loss of jobs, loss of health care, bankruptcy, deterioration of family, whatever--not their families, although plenty of them will no doubt suffer anyway. But those individuals who brought this calamity of the rest of America and most of the world need to know the evil they have wrought. It is not trivial.
A diplomat once stated at the UN in 2000 that the position of President of the United States was far too important to be left to the voters of the United States. That was one very astute diplomat.
