    Americans keep voting for people who keep giving them worse health care and education… It’s sad, but it is what it is.

      Imagine being an American and you didn’t vote for this, and you protest, but you can’t change the minds of the people that voted for this and who’s immediate reaction to any sort of protest is revulsion at being slightly inconvenienced, no matter what the protest is about.

      Now imagine you feel your vote is less and less important because the people you DO vote in to stop this barely put up a a fight, and end up rolling over anyway. Imagine being that American.

      Imagine living your life everyday doing everything you can to live up to the ideals that have been drilled into you since birth about what it means to be a good person, a good American, and a good citizen of Earth. And your neighbors elect a felon, a pedo, an insurrectionist.

      Imagine doing all of that and you still get worse healthcare.
