McConnell hasn't been up for reelection so I didn't vote for him after the move

I didn't vote GOP in the Presidential

As McConnell himself pointed out, the people re-elected the Republican majority in the Senate in 2016 and expanded it in 2018, despite McConnell's maneuver in 2016. This would appear to mean that the Republican voters either endorsed his denial of the seat or, at the very least, did not think it was worthy of Republicans losing the majority in the Senate.

Comparatively, the 2014 Senate elections were an absolute bloodbath for the Democrats, losing 9 seats and the majority following their nuclear option.

This is what JJ is referencing. 

Whether you personally voted for the GOP or any of its constituents due to McConnell's behavior is anecdotal, but ultimately irrelevant to the discussion.

I recognize that JJ postured the question towards you, but their point was that of the Republican voting base as a whole.

Context would have revealed this to you, had you paid attention to it.
