I think this is exactly right. I said it before, if there is one upside to this, it's laid the truth bare about America. There's not any room for illusion and wishcasting anymore, this is who we are.
One thing I would definitely like to say though, as far as me personally, when I speak of being transactional, I'm not going out of my way to be mean to anyone. I just don't care. I'm by default someone who greets people with a smile, kindness is always something that matters to me. But I'm not going to help you anymore if you chose this unless there's something in it for me. That's what you voted for, so that's what you will get. I'm not going to sever my preexisting relationships either if someone voted Turnip. But those relationships will absolutely change into something less than they were, and that isn't something I chose, but something those people chose. As I summed up before, these people chose to break the country willingly, it's on them to put it back together if they want.
