Short, but well written.

      Funny how when it’s Russia, every Russian must suffer for not overthrowing Putin, but when it’s the US, suddenly “oh no, it wasn’t me”.

        Americans when a dictatorship with no free elections invades another country: “It’s the people’s fault! Just revolt and take him down!”

        Americans when their democratically elected leader commits the worst imaginable atrocities for the 50th time in a row: “It’s- It’s not our fault. We voted for the other, slightly less fascist candidate! What else can we do?”

        All the freedom. Zero responsibilities. That’s what 200 years of no public education does to a nation.

            To the extent of discounting Muslims, latinos, white people, and non voting or third party voting tankies???

            I want to believe as much as the next person that this was a fully successful voter fraud, but Americans are truly that sexist against women and tankies are adamant, even now, that Gaza is the hill they want to die on.

              That’s to say nothing for the idea that if the election WERE stolen, it would be an uncharacteristic display of technical competence the likes of which we’ve never seen from this administration before or since.

                nobody said the Trump administration was behind it and people like the ETA don’t make guesses. the information is clear: the election’s data was manipulated.

              Election fraud, not voter fraud. There’s a difference.

              Namely, voter fraud is thing Republicans falsely accuse the Democrats of in order to deflect from the election fraud they’re actually committing.

        What is it the kids say? ‘Cope.’ Just like us in the UK after Brexit, you need to just face up to who you really are as a country. You re-elected Trump in free and fair elections after Jan 6th and Georgia. We voted to leave the strongest most influential trading block in the world because we’re idiots. Face it, accept it, start to fight it.

      Refusing to do anything against that scum was just as good as supporting him, in the end.

      So yeah, I’d say that 2/3rds is enough to constitute a ‘we’ in this case.
