I don't really revel in the suffering of others, even when they voted against their own interests. There are billions of dollars spent manipulating these people.

They are grown adults so while being manipulated is certainly a problem they are still responsible for falling for it at the individual level. Like how crime is often the result of poverty and other stresses, but we still hold (most) individuals responsible for their actions.

The community is entirely about mocking people who are facing the consequences of voting for those who make them suffer, in case you didn't notice.

Would say this would be a great moment to do some community outreach and help however I don't know how many resources the democratic party in WV would have to spare and the Democrat who introduced legislation to help fund relief was voted down.
