I do. I feel sympathy for anyone whose child dies, especially if they were murdered. I don’t know which of them voted R and it’s likely some of them didn’t. Hell, the children didn’t vote for anyone. They’re not a single individual and I’m not going to look hard enough at which of them deserve contempt and which don’t.
I also know how absolutely shit these rural schools are first hand. Anyone who grew up there has had a hard row to hoe in regards to learning history and understanding the world around them.
However, I won’t look down on anyone who doesn’t feel anything but contempt for communities who get what they vote for. I get it. I’m pissed about it too. I just happen to be pissed at the fucking politicians who have made it impossible to get a halfway decent education at a rural Texas school unless your rural town happens to be incredibly rich.
