35. For whatever personal reason a lot of people voted for Trump.

They thought Trump would make their lives more significant, heal all their emotional wounds, redress all the wrongs they had suffered, and pave the roads with gold.

Instead they got royally shafted.

Those voters are now in the Find Out stage; they got duped and lied to.

Do those deluded people deserve our sympathy?
Yes/no/it doesn't matter?
I'm in the 'no' camp, pain is a learning and behavior modifying experience after all.
