Jebus, stop trying to find a single group to blame, it’s the entire god damn American public that’s at fault.

White, Latino, Blacks, Asians, men, women, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, atheists, Republicans, Democrats, progressives, everyone in America knew who Trump and Republicans are and screwed the pooch and the entirety of America.

    This is just some weird line of thought you came up with but it stands up to no scrutiny. Where it falls apart even more obviously is if you look at the more authoritarian governments around the world. Go ahead, blame those victims too and see how much sense it makes. But we don’t even have a democracy in the United States. The popular vote doesn’t matter as long as the gerrymandering worked as intended (which is often).

    The only way your logic would hold up at all is if there were some international program that let people move for free to another country if they didn’t like what was going on in theirs. Because that would never ever exist, and so much is beyond our control, it’s just braindead to pretend otherwise.

    Ps I voted and said so. Not sure why you’re saying I didn’t. My whole point is that we don’t get to victim blame those who did their part to stop this evil

      Oh you voted Harris so you’re a victim now? Nobody has any sympathy for the people who did nothing but vote in those autocratic regimes. And throwing away your own agency certainly doesn’t make you a victim. We’re all in this no matter who we voted for.

              What’s nonsensical here? We have a responsibility as citizens to turn this around. And saying, “but I voted against Trump, so I don’t owe anything” is just giving up your agency. If he goes the worst path the gestapo aren’t going to stop to ask if you still feel like being political.

                    Yes it is mental laziness to pretend all Americans are the same as if fascists are the same as anti-fascists. That’s just you wanting to avoid thinking about stuff. You still have said fuck-all about what you expect anyone to do about it or what the fuck it means to claim people “gave up their agency” by simply reminding you they tried to do something, by voting against the death of America.

                    We “gave up” nothing. Republicans stole this country from us and millions will suffer. Whatever weird shit you’re going on about cannot change that fact.
