    sure, I guess I better start blaming capitalism for all my woes now

      I was not the one who passed Citizens United.

      I was not the one who set up Fox News and right-wing radio as propaganda outlets.

      I was not the one who chose to make the Republicans work with Evangelicals to push wedge issues.

      I was not the one who bought up all the media outlets to push Republican propaganda.

      But sure, put all the blame on me when I’ve done my part to vote, try and convince others to vote, protested some when I could which hasn’t been all that much. I even have a wikipedia page because of something I did in 2009 to try and help.

      But keep on blaming me and not the fascists and not the oligarchs who actually orchestrated this thing if it makes you feel better about yourself.

      Are you happy with yourself now for blaming me? Do you feel better?

        i don’t understand how you went from understanding “you” to mean america and now you’re typing “you” as in you personally ?

        obviously you are not the sole reason trump is elected

        it is your country that decided that collectively

        To me infantising them as if they accidentally fell for republican garbage like they would totally have voted for kamala if not for some reason is just excuses

        most countries have right wing groups, we have skynews here in Australia as a right wing propaganda outlet, and plenty of shadow organisations like advance

        we also have a bat shit lady pauline hanson running her party to lead australia

        just if she gets in don’t expect me to complain about fox news, the internet, capitalism, oligarchs or something

        it would simply be what the people of australia wanted
