Whatever “consequences” you think Angelenos need to face for voting badly, they’ve already faced them—their homes have burned down; lives have been lost; the city will never be the same. 

It is not your job to teach them a lesson, to make sure they learn their lesson, to offer tough love or pithy sayings like “you get what you vote for” or “elections have consequences.”

It’s your job to pray for them and also work to change hearts and minds.

Many minds will automatically be changed by this; oftentimes you have to suffer immensely before waking up and changing. But you also have to cognitively make the connection that your suffering is a direct result of Democrat policies. 

That’s where you guys come in—working to change hearts and minds and speaking truth. 

Behaving with a dismissive, self-righteous, or even a vengeful attitude toward California democrats, won’t get you your desired results. 

It’ll only assuage your own bloodthirsty ego. 

A lot of you need to check yourselves in the face of untold suffering.
