A perfect analogy where you argue to stay with abusive partner and you are actually a horrible person if you don't want to stay with your abusive partner. The idea that your partner stops being abusive is also so absurd that it's out of the question.

Yeah, yeah. People said this leading up to the election to. The plain logic of "we're getting one of these two" didn't seem to click with many, you included.

I'm a cis white male who makes pretty damn good money so in all likelihood I'll be fine. That surely won't be the case for many. I tried. /shrug

I bet you did wonders with your "stay with your abuser" rhetoric. With clever posters like you, how a could we possibly have lost? But i am happy to read that the election did matter to you anyway.

You can lead a horse to water.

But you can't make it understand that you beat them because you actually love them so much, and that they are lucky to have you. Sad

Choosing the better of two options too difficult logic for many, I guess.
