āThe devil doesnāt come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything youāve ever wished for.ā
ā Tucker Max
So, you want me to believe that you voted for a racist, rapist, convicted felon, business fraud who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol after losing the last election because of the price of eggs? That you voted for the orange-dipped dude who ran with a different VP because the last one was nearly hanged for not breaking democracy, because youāve been getting fewer hours at your job these days?
You want me to believe that you voted for someone who nearly every economist in the world has said will grow our debt (which he did by the third largest amount ever the last time), increase our costs, raise inflation and destroy our GDP because a burger and fries at Five Guys is more expensive than it used to be? You want me to believe that you voted for the drink bleach guy who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day because you had it so much better then, when you were stockpiling toilet paper, than you do now?
You want me to believe that you voted for the guy who had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill and didnāt, the guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall when they didnāt, the guy who promised to bring manufacturing back, lower the cost of prescription drugs and end the opioid crisis but didnāt, because you preferred his āpoliciesā? You want me to believe you voted for the āgrab em by the pussyā guy who wants to destroy the Department of Education and to repeal the ACA despite the fact that he has nothing more than āconcepts of a planā to replace it, the guy who will roll back environmental protections, strip women and minorities of more rights, the guy who will hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu, the guy who has said he will be a ādictator on day oneā, because youāre worried about losing your gas stove? Iām sorry, but I donāt believe any of that, and frankly, Iām not sure you believe it either.
Because the truth is that your vote wasnāt about any of that. You voted for the traitorous embodiment of the 7 deadly sins because when it came to casting your ballot for a Black woman, you just couldnāt do it. And because you like getting away with being your worst self. And because life is a whole lot easier to stomach when all that has gone wrong for you, is someone elseās fault. Letās be honest here, that is what it was.
So when the price of eggs is $18, and your Latino neighbors have been deported or moved to some fād up ācampā to pick the strawberries none of you will pick, and your miscarrying wife has to contend with sepsis before sheās allowed to have an abortion, and your autistic child is unable to get the early intervention they desperately need, please remember what it really was that you voted for.
Because I promise you the rest of us will never, ever forget.
