The US is just a nation of “good cops” and “bad cops.” The good cops will politely ask you to vote for them, support their policies, accept your destitution as deserved.

When you refuse to accept, ask why it has to be this way, or ask if they could do a better job, the good cop will just shake their head and say “I tried to help. But it looks like we’re doing it the hard way” and walk away for the bad cop to come in and beat you half to death.
