The people of America voted, good luck with that congress!
Fifteen per cent of those surveyed “strongly agreed” with the statement, “Being torn limb from limb by a grizzly bear or devoured by a pack of rabid hyenas is too good for these people. They should be eaten, very slowly, by a colony of hungry fire ants. Yes, that’s it—fire ants. That would be amazing.”.

I'm just worried about the animals getting indigestion.
I would add a footnote to "the people of America voted". The popular vote for the House of Representatives in 2012 was actually won by the Democrats, even if they lost in number of seats. This is not to delegitimise the election: such a result is valid in a first-past-the-post system. But it does add a nuance to the "you voted it, you deserved it" argument.
