I realize one is not supposed to say this in politics, but it is just clearly the case that 77,302,580 voters have blood on their hands for this, bear real, moral culpability for deciding that it was a good idea to put idiot Fox News Grandpa back in power for [reasons].

I have had to literally bite my tongue to keep from saying this in work meetings where the price of oil is going to have a real measurable impact on what we can afford to do this year. Because at least one coworker has a Trump 2024 sticker on his phone and I'm not supposed to notice.

I have to bite my tongue around one coworker and I don't have much tongue left.

I just want to scream: YOU DID THIS TO US BECAUSE YOU ARE A CLUELESS FUCKING DICKHEAD WHO BELIEVED HIS LIES ABOUT THE ECONOMY WHILE INSISTING HE WAS LYING ABOUT ALL THE OTHER STUFF

And it's not like it was a mystery how badly this would go. People just didn't want to believe.

Don't forget the abysmally stupid and gullible suckers that refused to understand the "DEMOCRATS = GENOCIDE, SO DON'T VOTE" campaign was a calculated tool by the people that really really want to do genocide.

Add the approx. 88 million eligible who did not vote. Not voting = Don't give a crap.

There is a fragment by Solon the Athenian whose exact reading is disputed, but one of the ways to take it is that, if stasis grips your polis and the factions come to blows, you exile the neutrals and not the losers.

Because they didn't care enough about the polis to take sides.

the only people who did the right thing in 2024 are those who voted for Harris. Everyone else is passively or actively complicit

Not the blood of many American citizens though, so not real people.

Because there is the realm of, "we tried our best, things go wrong, big countries can break big things by accident" and then there is the realm of, "we made an intentionally negligent choice because we thought it was funny and wouldn't effect us."

And this is the latter.

Alas, it was either letting trans people be part of society or committing genocide in Iran, so for 77 million people the choice was clear.

This is IMO a misread of the average swing voter. They voted for him because they believed he would help them economically. They don't have the engagement and political literacy to understand the implications.

My silent generation, evangelical Christian parents voted for him three times and I still utterly fail to understand that

back in 2016, I ran into an old online aquaintance on FB. I knew he was back in the day a "reasonable" conservative. I asked him what the heck was the deal with Trump. He answered "it makes the libs mad". I replied "that's not way to run the most powerful country on earth". no reply.

I mean, they put him back in power because the well-funded Republican Party, dark money funding networks, church funding networks, and a wholly-owned corporate media wanted him there.

Everyone who didn't vote has blood on one of their hands but not the other

Maybe this pushes the metaphor a bit too much

And when he's gone, none of this will be anyone's fault, especially not the people who voted for it, cheered it on when it was happening, and will still support it whenever the next guy does it. Even suggesting otherwise will be "TDS".

Going to push back slightly. Obviously this is a disaster, but at the time Trump's first term had been relatively peaceful compared to other recent presidents. He seemed committed to reducing our troop commitments. Trump 2 has been dramatically different from Trump 1.

Seemed, but wasn't. Which is the sweet spot. It turns out voters hate it when you end wars. Biden's approval ratings tanked and never recovered when he withdrew from Afghanistan. Ending the war cost him the election.

No, his voters have been culpable the whole time. He showed what he was before he was even elected the first time.
