I think we should laugh and ridicule these voters as much and as cruelly as possible so that they REMEMBER that this was THEIR fault and aren't talked into thinking it was progressives or Democrats several years from now.
Because these reactionaries will not remember this was the Republicans and their own doing if we only express sympathy for them. Just like they seemly forgot about Trump's virulently racists triad about Haitian immigrants eating dogs just months before the election.
What they will remember is my face laughing at them as they're hauled away because it's coming from someone they thought was beneath them. And that will make them remember why I laughed.
I do not care about the feelings of reactionaries even if they are from marginalized communities just as don't care about the harm they've inflicted on millions of undocumented immigrants that did not vote for Trump and these Trump supporters would have just as gladly watched them be deported if they weren't being included as well.
Fuck these sniveling liberal civility politics, they do not apply when we are talking about fascism.
