    I feel the mad in you, I sincerely do, but when the whole ocean is moving in a certain way due to underlying currents, it is incorrect to place the blame on any individual droplet, for none of them individually are responsible for it or have the power to control or alter it. Understand that the droplets themselves are moving because of the the said currents. The best you can do is accept reality and plan your course ahead. The mad only burns you from inside without solving any problem.

      No, they each made the individual choice to back a fascist.

      Absolving them of that responsibility is the same infantilizing condescension that liberal media has been pushing for a decade now.

      You don’t get to tell me how to feel about the people who made the people I love unsafe.

      He’s not blaming individuals, he’s blaming a collective. A conglomerate of willfully ignorant, and often hateful, voters. So yes, don’t personally attribute this to Bill So-and-so, but if you see Bill fly a confederate flag and talk about trans kids, you know Bill is part of the collective and you can go ahead and add some blame on his pile.

      If only the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials had you as a lawyer. They were only following orders, after all.

      Nobody understands population statistics… Your entire post is correct at a higher level than those shouting individualism, but they cannot comprehend the aggregate consequences or truth.
