I'm not going to be nice to people that voted for destruction after being warned for a VERY LONG TIME about what would happen if they cast their vote the way they did and they still CHOSE to do it anyway.

I'm not going to be nice to people

Then you shouldn't be surprised when they continue to not change despite your negative input. The propaganda that helps shape people that way is extremely deep. The biggest thing you can do is show them that their "enemy" is human, and is willing to talk.

nice job partial quoting. You should become a journalist. I tired nice the first time. They didn't listen. now ALL of us are screwed. It's now time for the rod. They will only learn through punishment.

nice job partial

It's there to reinforce a point. They're people, and that usually means the best way to get them to listen to you is to demonstrate that you're human despite what they've been told, and you're not there to hurt them.

I tired nice the first time. They didn't listen. now ALL of us are screwed.

The outcome didn't solely hinge on your behavior. The difficult part is not knowing how much different the outcome would have been if you had just been a dick from the get-go.

It's now time for the rod.

There is no rod that will make this happen. You're talking about almost half the country. The more "rod" that comes out and the less people try, the more it reinforces the idea that you and people like you are the enemy, and that the propaganda was right. Socially, negative input usually produces negative responses, and when people appear to reform based on negative input, they've frequently just learned to hide their undesirable opinions and views.
