It's intended to make people wake the fuck up and deal with problem(s) (next time) before it is too late, like it is now for this issue.

The saying goes "they went after group 'A' I didn't like, then after group 'B', now they're after me and I care. Well maybe if you 'A', and 'B' worked together against your common enemy instead of being selfish, short-sighted and stupid you wouldn't be fucked right now"

We are idiots and deserve everything that happens next 4 years.
