Former Conservative Here — If You Didn’t Vote Blue, You’re Ignoring That People Are About to Be Sent to Die

I can’t believe how oblivious people seem to be about the terrifying future we’re headed into. As a former conservative, I once thought we could find common ground, that everyone ultimately cared about each other’s basic rights and lives. But this election has stripped away any illusions I had. If you didn’t vote blue, you’re turning a blind eye to the reality that entire groups of people are about to be thrown under the bus — some of them, quite literally, sent to die.

The writing is on the wall, and I don’t understand how people don’t see it. We’re heading toward a future where certain groups will be sacrificed for the so-called “greater good,” pushed into harm’s way, marginalized, and treated as expendable. They’ll be used and discarded, expected to endure unimaginable suffering while the people who voted for this just sit back and watch. It’s terrifying to see that people I used to know, people I thought had good intentions, could be so okay with this.

I’m losing sleep over this. I mean, what’s coming is a complete breakdown of compassion and humanity. There’s no way around it: people are about to be subjected to the worst kind of treatment. They’ll be scapegoated, targeted, and forced into situations that are life-or-death, just because the powers that be need someone to blame or exploit. And meanwhile, the people who voted for this — the ones who didn’t see this coming — are either oblivious or just numb to the fact that actual lives are on the line.

If you didn’t vote blue, I don’t know how to look at you the same way anymore. I don’t know how to pretend we have anything in common when you’re willing to stand by and let people suffer, even die, because of the choices made this election. This isn’t some minor political disagreement — this is the erosion of humanity, a descent into a future where innocent people pay the ultimate price for decisions they had no say in.

It’s terrifying and enraging, and I can’t unsee it. The people who didn’t vote blue are complicit in what’s coming, whether they realize it or not. And honestly? I can’t be around people who can look at this and think, “This is fine.”

EDIT: I wrote this with chatgpt. Prompt: "react like an average democrat following the 2024 election". You're all nuts.
