I almost feel like you didn't read what I wrote. Of course I'm concerned that they're going to take us down with them. That's why I made my phone calls today, that's why we have to continue to fight for a better world. As for "leaving them to stew" that's...not exactly what I meant. They're adults. We need to hold them accountable for their actions, which means when bad things happen, to them or to us, we don't gloss over it, we don't agonize over the whys of their actions. Instead, we focus on the consequences, and move to ameliorate the damage as best we can. "Leaving them to stew" makes it sound like I want them to suffer. I don't. And I don't think anyone should. But I don't think we should accept responsibility for their bad behavior, either, which is what most of the "understand the Trump voter" pieces seem to suggest. They're adults. Let's treat them like it.
