> guess we'll do nothing" means they [Democrats] probably deserved it

To use an Americanism, “all y’all” don’t deserve it, but you’re the ones who will suffer while the people you elect will, by and large, float on.

Personally, I think most Americans are generally good people who’d just like to get along, having adequate empathy to support basic human rights and basic social welfare systems. If more voted, everyone would be better off. Mind, getting more people involved in primaries is probably necessary, because the parties as-is are not representative of the people: they’re representative of decades old internal power struggles. All y’all need new, fresh representatives.
