The thing is, they don't truly understand the consequences. Otherwise c/leopardsatemyface wouldn't be a thing.

They believe that they are free from consequence because they keep being told that, and by the odds they're unlikely to face major direct consequences of their choices. And when they do, often it gets blamed on "the other side" instead of the people they choose to represent them.

It's not about them being too stupid to understand, or too evil to want better, it's about an unwillingness to think about the consequences of their actions.

Oh i’ll be around to remind them. I’ve been doing rounds on calling out the idiots that still keep blaming dems for not saving them from themselves. Voters are entirely to blame for this and need to grow up and own their entire part in this mess.

They'd have to be willing to listen to you for it to matter. And shouting "you're a moron!" at them has gotten little to no positive response thus far.
