19. Since "the other side" re-elected Trump after Jan 6th, Level 5 for anyone who voted Trump in 2024

is inappropriate. Trump 2016 and 2020 voters were treated with Level 5 courtesy, and the idiots voted for the traitor (and, let's not forget, rapist) again. Level 4 is the most they deserve (and need, to snap them out of it), and Level 2 is justifiable. Especially with the predictable results we have seen this year.

I notice this idea was started in 2022; back then, you might justify being polite, since they hadn't voted since the outrage. But since they did vote in 2024, a different approach is needed.
