Your argument is a straw man, isn't it? Of course people can say "you voted for it, you deserve it, what the fuck were you thinking" and also say "come join the protest next week if you actually found your sense of human decency". That is all perfectly consistent.
When informed adults whine about what they predictably lost based on their own bad decisions, of course their complaints will fall on deaf ears. But if they want to take action to make things better, nobody will get in their way.
I would be tempted to agree with you that it's a straw man, except for all the other responses to my comment.
