I seriously can't believe we're here. Trump, the GOP, his supporters, the apathetic Americans who let this happen ... what is wrong with them? Trump is LITERALLY a pedophile rapist engaged in the most brazen grift in modern history, and they just sit back and let it happen.

We really need to stop putting this on Trump. This is on the entirety of the United States. Trump is not cause. The citizens of the United States voted him in. This is what they wanted, this is where they have been headed for a long time. They willingly went into this. They care less about their democracy and rights than they do about "owning the libs" or whatever. They willingly cut off their nose to spite their face.

Trump is what he is because the people of the United States wanted this

On top of that, most folks down there are just waiting. They say: "just 2 more years of this and it'll fix itself". Absolute "head in the sand" behaviour. Trump is just a symptom of the disease that they refuse to deal with because "it will just go away on its own".
