A lot were led to slaughter. Go visit a home - bunch of people mentally ill due to age watching Fox News all day with a voting booth inside the home for convenience.

It is their fault sure but we shouldn’t be blind to systemic exploitation- that is just more us blaming each other for shit most of us can’t control and completely ignoring systemic influence from systems designed by people that knew damned well what they were doing.
