@jwcph This is a country that wholly internalized that SOME deserve to die, and some deserve to live. That some DESERVE opulent luxury, and some DESERVE to toil in misery to provide that opulent luxury. That some people matter, and some don't. That American exceptionalism means they matter, and other people don't.
Expecting them to vote to protect their neighbors or even worse, faceless minorities they've never met, was not realistic. "What's in it for me" was always going to be the question.
