So the Republicans are "knuckle-dragging fascist dipshits" but they aren't to blame? Wtf?

    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 in power doing the bad things are always to blame for the bad things they do.

    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.

    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.
