Oh no, some liberals were being mean to me on the internet. Guess I'll just vote against my own interests to spite them...

    This is how a lot of people vote. Maybe they aren't converted right then and there, but it builds up over time. Humans aren't rational man

    I don't doubt that that's the case, but I'm just pointing out (humorously) the absurdity of someone who is purportedly a principled individual who cares about things like climate change, civil/human rights, equality, bodily autonomy and most importantly democracy changing to the side that is openly against all of those things because people can be harsh and nasty on the internet sometimes.

    Like, if someone really was so flimsy with their morals that they could bend so easily, did they ever really care in the first place? Or were they just looking for an excuse to blame the other side for their fecklessness?
