They were willing to sacrifice marginalized people at the altar of a “good economy.” They 100% deserve this.

Some do for sure but 20 somethings who have been raised in Trump cult circumstances since they were a teen or before and don't know any better, no, they don't deserve this.

Everyone who voted to fuck over marginalized people deserves this. Everyone who voted for people to be illegally deported deserves this. Everyone who voted for women to lose more reproductive rights deserves this. Everyone who voted for trans people to be arrested for using a bathroom deserves this. 20 somethings are grown enough to know better. Fuck all Trump supporters, period.

ETA: it’s funny how endless your empathy is for the people screwing over marginalized people and how empty your empathy is for marginalized people.

What are you talking about? You don't know anything about me or my empathy for marginalized people and you are very far off the mark with your assumptions 

I am assuming you are lucky enough to have grown up in an environment where you didn't have to escape an oppressively conservative mindset.   Acting like people should just inherently know better when conservative BS is all they have ever known is an extremely ignorant viewpoint.

You don’t have a lot of empathy for marginalized people if you’re preaching empathy for their oppressors. Good people don’t enable bad people.

Empathy isn't some scale where understanding the bad circumstances of one person means you are ignorant of the bad situations of another.

I guess maybe it works that way for you, seem to grasp the nuance involved her but that's not how empathy works in general.

Why would I have empathy for people who seek to destroy me and others like me? When you express empathy for people who want to destroy me, you’re complicit in my destruction. Empathy for my oppressors is a luxury for privileged people like you who aren’t being targeted.
