This country deserves what's coming to it.

No, it just simply doesn't. Regardless of how many (how fucking depressingly many) people voted for him, how fucked this country is, no one deserves to live through a fascist regime. We don't want housing just for the good homeless, we don't think only women who are "responsible" should have access to abortions, we don't think only Respectable Gays should have marriage rights. In the same vein, we shouldn't want only the good countries, only the good populations, to be free from tyranny. 70 million votes for that asshat, 70 out of 350. This country doesn't deserve this, because no one deserves this.

Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can improve.

We hit rock bottom 8 years ago. This is miles under the bedrock.

The only hope I have is that the Bell riots start soon and we can force change, but damn every time it seems we’ve hit bottom they break out a shiny new drill bit

This is the result of literally decades of planning from extremist groups on the right to bend America into a fascist theocratic dictatorship. Saying someone deserved to get attacked because the attack was successful might be peak victim-blaming.
