I have very little time for people who try to blame voters for a fascist coup engineered by US and russian elites.
I don't know man, that shit (fascism) was out in the OPEN since at least Jan 6.
Fascism is a disease that humans are unfortunately susceptible to, especially when deprived of resources and education.
I would no more blame trump voters enmasse than I would blame the addicts huddled under bridges for the horrors of the drug trade.
The people to blame are those benefiting by exploiting the weaknesses of the human animal that make the lies of fascism seem appealing.
I don't recognize the need to identify the people to blame. There are multiple parties with various degrees of culpability. Yes, the primary blame lies with people who orchestrated the exploitation. But blame also lies with those who fell for such and obvious grift, and those who didn't vote, and those who voted third party out of protest.
Concentrating all blame on one party without nuance is exactly the tribalist nonsense that powers fascism.
You know, if there is a war against the nazis, and we win, I will straight up go AWOL in order to brutally execute these nazis. I will not let a single one get away this time, no more deals, no more mercy.
I blame capitalism, the voters, and fascist rich fucks. Sure the trump voters were manipulated but it's like they didn't even try to think critically for a second.
The power of media saturation can't be understated. Bezos owns the WaPo, Musk owns Twitter, Gates owns NBC, the Murdochs and the Coors Family and The Kochs and the Sinclairs have a strangle hold on local news.
Literally where do you go to get serious journalism in an age where WikiLeaks is a criminal enterprise and The Espionage Act has been invoked against more journalists in the last fifteen years than the prior fifty.
Blaming voters in an era of industrial misinformation seems wildly misguided. You have people utterly saturated in war propaganda and blood libel. Even the liberals don't know who to support anymore.
