    I wonder how many stories just like this we are not hearing.

    It’s bad enough to support donvict because you have some kind of zeal for harming other people you don’t care about and only know of in kind of an abstract way (like some trans athlete several states away), but if you voted for him knowing those you love are going to be in jeopardy because of the EXPLICIT PLANS that donvict said he had, you are a special kind of idiot.

    When the Tone Police were lecturing people about how UNCIVIL it was to cut people out of your lives (including lifelong friends and close family like children or parents or siblings) because they voted for things that those people KNEW would harm you, it was truly a jaw-dropping thing. Knowing you are voting to harm someone, and then making pleas about how it’s “just politics, let’s all get along here” or “I put up with Biden and I didn’t cut YOU off” is just so beyond the pale…and the fucking gaslighting Tone Police are even worse in what they are doing - trying to shame people who are now in fear for their lives for being just done with the people in their own lives that knowingly voted for that.

    But that’s what the Tone Police are known for - being completely tone deaf.
