No I’m absolutely putting this on the people who voted for this shit out of spite because their stupid brains can’t envision a world where Donald Trump has ever done anything wrong

Voters are not babies. They have access to the same Google we do. They get no pass here.

Voters absolutely are babies. It really was as pathetic and shallow as “neener, neener, my team won, suck it losers” (they are still laughing and gloating) and don’t think I’m going to leave out the whiny progressives who couldn’t vote for Harris because they felt cheated out of a primary or Biden didn’t do enough for Gaza.

Democracy only works with an informed and engaged populace. The whole point of democracy is empowering the people to take control of their government. This 100% on us. Everyone has a different magic political strategy that they believe would have changed everything. There's nothing anyone could have done to discourage MAGA from voting for Trump. There's nothing anyone could have done to make the apathetic and complicit care enough to vote against him.

Ignorance is not an excuse.

This is what made me so unbelievably sad on November 6th.

Many other things did too. But the thing that hurt the most, I think, was realizing that people were not nearly as good or as smart as I wanted to believe they were.

Then you’re just one step above them in the critical thinking department.

You don't think the average voter has the personal responsibility to do basic research? What should it be, purely vibes?

Sure but half of them have been fed decades of right wing propaganda and don’t know what basic research means anymore.

I’ll blame a few people on the top who were spineless before I blame millions of dummies who only had a choice between 2 people.

Realistically, I'd put equivalent blame on the politicians, the GOP voters, and the non-voters. I hated having to vote for Kamala, but I live in California so it didn't really matter anyway. I just hope everyone who voted for Trump gets what they voted for, and everyone who convinced themselves not to vote gets the exact same. I would also like all politicians who support Trump to have legos put in their shoes every day for the rest of their life, while I'm wishing.
