    At this point I don’t blame Republicans, they are exactly the christo-fascist criminal hypocrites that they always have been.

    At this point I don’t blame Democrats, utterly underwhelming and politically ineffective as they are.

    Nope. At THIS POINT I blame the lazy fat dumb-as-shit American fuckwad populace. “We The People” just gave knuckle-dragging fascist dipshits the keys to every branch of government as well as a mandate to do basically whatever the fuck they want for no reason other than the price of Doritos being higher. It turns out that the real enemy of the people is the American people themselves, who make the worst possible decisions and act against their own interest at every opportunity, only later to point fingers at the same politicians that they helped elect in the first place.

    In other words, if you voted for anybody but Harris I can only say “fuck you, you deserve exactly whatever is coming”.

      I mean, the GOP has done everything in its power for several decades to undermine education and clinch a near-monopoly on TV and radio media. So I think we can blame them quite a bit for how idiotic and cultish the American people have become.

      A lot of people here want their hands held all the way to the ballot box.

      Being unenthusiastic and unimpressed with the Democratic party is apparently a completely valid reason to not vote, allow a trump win, and then blame the Democrats.

        Do you blame the fox for killing the hens, or do you blame the farmer for letting them into the hen house in the first place?

        The American people saw an unhinged, deranged and delusion party of fascists running on a campaign of corruption, vengeance and grievance, and some of the American populace decided that they wanted to vote for it, while others decided that they didn’t care to vote against it.

        All of those people are to fucking blame, and it’s about time that they know it. This wasn’t a hard decision for anyone with >3 neurons firing, but the world is full of idiots have no concept of doing what is best for their world, their country, their city, their family or themselves. I’m done blaming the politicians, I choose to blame the dumb shit people who hand them power at every opportunity.

        They’re evil, but they also would be completely powerless without American voters (and non-voters). Much like how the GOP enables Trump.

            The people who helped put them in power in the first place are also to blame, that’s the whole damn point. Those who voted for the fascists, as well as those who failed to vote against them, are the main people to blame for the fascists rising to power.

            This isn’t hard to understand. It shouldn’t be hard to understand.

            YES, we absolutely need to have a reckoning about the shitty politicians that are in power, obviously.

            What seems to be less obvious to people, for some reason, is that that something is fundamentally broken in American culture because it is, as a matter of fact, the American PEOPLE who have used every opportunity to put the worst people in power. So yeah, point your finger at the politicians if you all want to, but in the end all we’re doing is keeping the average American dumbfuck from looking in the mirror and reflecting on their part in this entire charade.

            Partially to blame, yes. But they made no pretense of who they were and what they wanted to do. This is largely on the voters.
