A good number of us have said "yeah, that cost seems worth it", and you act like your opinion is the only one that should matter.

It would appear that more voters think the cost is too high.

Don't play dumb. Most voters are woefully uninformed and had no idea what actual policy would be enacted.

Of course they didn't know the exact policy mechanism, basically no one did (even well-informed, high-IQ voters). We voted for Trump because he promised massive disruption to the status quo.
