She's not owed your sympathy. You're free to do what you want. But the hate seems performative for an ordinary girl who made a very stupid decision based around a promise for something she was desperate for. She's not a business executive or even a MAGA base voter.

Maybe she's learned her lesson.
She is either stupid (which she is not), or intellectually dishonest.
This person clearly has enough privilege and advantages in life to discern who Donald Trump is. She chose not to use critical thinking.
She made a stupid choice and now has to suffer with the consequences. I’m not going out of my way to celebrate but I’m not going to lose any sleep over the people who do
Trump took victory laps about ripping her reproductive Rights away.
She knew what she voted for.
so fuck her.
There is a large swath of the population that is not media savvy. Since 2008, smart phones & social media have taken off as a primary source of information & it has been exploited by malign actors (foreign & domestic) to influence
People who live in families or communities w/ more information have been able to navigate this a little better, though many of them also fall for lies/rumors etc... (some to fit their view or wishes of the world..denial, wishful thinking play a role). The herd plays a big role. And
Those of us who want change (& lasting change) ARE going to have to grapple w/ this & to do something about it to bring as many of these ppl up to speed as we can.
Otherwise, the desires of the powerful will continue to warp our world
Scolding
We don't have to coddle the others. We don't even have to deal w/ those who aren't remorseful.
But those who realize they have made a mistake, we MUST
We infantilize so many of these people with excuses.
No more.
If it's just to engender sympathy for her plight… she can take a number.
