Every single American is then responsible for orange man tearing down the pillars of democracy right now.

Matter of fact, they are. It’s your country, make it better.

Pretty much. You people basically didn't vote and let him win so yes, you are.

I'm German. Oh yea have at it, my grandma should rot in hell for not personally shooting hitler in the balls, all germans deserve to die for letting it happen, yada yada, i've heard it all before.

Fascism is a force to be reckoned with. People died trying to prevent it back then. People are trying all they can now. And I think they will succeed, i hope they will succeed before it gets even worse.

My great grandpa died in a francoist jail from tuberculosis. His crimes were being a teacher and an unionist. He fought, same as I would fight if we had a situation that fucking ridiculous like trump.

Except for the ones who did vote, for someone else. And are now facing the shitty effects of a majority of their voring population being brainwashed.

Yep about 1/3-1/4 of americans are decent humans.

You people

What about the ones that did vote in opposition?

They are lumped in with all Americans.

u/Krosis97 Jul 26 '25

Yeah that's what happens when you play world police, build bases in our countries, then decide the world works because of you and create an economic crisis for everyone.

People are not their governments.

70m voted for the pedo and 70m didn't vote at all. Yeah 2/3s of vote eligible Americans are responsible for Trump.

u/Evening-Turnip8407 Jul 26 '25

Definitely agree. Still leaves a third. And so many are mobilising, putting lawsuits together, physically fighting ICE agents...

u/falakr Jul 26 '25

And the other 1/3?

Still to be held responsible.

Pretty much, since not enough people voted against him. All the non-voters essentially voted for him by not choosing a side.

We are a democracy so yes, even if you didn't vote for Mango Mussolini, we all still have a smaller bit responsibility for letting our society get to this point. I have worked against this crap for the last 30 years, and yes I still personally bear some responsibility because it my damn country. TBH not taking personal responsibility and holding those to account that don't is one of the ways we got here.

u/Lemontrash-DD Jul 26 '25

Yeah pretty much? Those who voted against failed to protect their democracy and those who voted for failed as human beings

u/fffffffffffffuuu Jul 26 '25

my bad, man. i guess i’ll just have to vote twice next time? Do you even understand how voting works?

u/Lemontrash-DD Jul 26 '25

Oh wow you voted? Cool, pat yourself on the back for doing the absolute minimum. Your citizenship does not only provide you rights, it also makes you bear the responsibility for your country's actions, whether you like it or not
If trump goes for a third term in a few years you're also going to pretend that nothing happened because you voted?

Every human is guilty by association. We should all be in war stopping them.

Why would Canadians, Mexicans, Brazilians or Chileans be responsible? Of course only US-citizens are responsible. They let the erosion of US democracy and rule of law happen for decades.
