    Why are we punishing mostly good people for a few shitheads psychopathic tendencies? This is disgusting, I remember back in 2008 when the financial crisis hit my lower middle class family very hard and we couldn’t afford to get our heat turned back on in a very cold winter full of ice. As a 17 year old I was so cold and miserable even at home and embarrassed by my families poverty. When you’re a child, you don’t deserve this. This is gross thinking

      when you're an adult you don't deserve that, no one does, no matter who they fucking voted for.

        Sure, children especially though. Considering they can’t Even fucking vote and have no conception of politics beyond maybe mom and dad vote republican or democrat

      Honestly I think it's kind of fucked up to even be asking about "good" or "bad" people when it comes to stuff like this. Nobody deserves to suffer, period. At times there are situations where the interests of some are in contradiction with those of broader society, and then it may be necessary to act against them, but this isn't good or noble. If we had a better option we should always take it.

      People just don't think about it like that, it's steryotyping ex/ "clearly if they voted for Abbott then everyone he represents is just like him"
      Logically this completely falls apart but the steryotype of texas yokel is too strong for most people to see beyond it
