Americans had two options:

They could vote for a literal fascist

or they could vote for someone who, with all their flaws, was not a literal fascist.

The third option, not voting, meant you were ok with both options, so by not voting, you sent the message of being ok with getting a literal fascist as your president. I'm sorry but that's how it works, if you are ok with having a fascist president, you are, at least, a fascism enabler.

That's not bigotry, that's how it is.
