The cynicism behind faulting americans who didn't even vote for Trump is concerning (kbin.melroy.org)

I'm getting quite strained from the sentiment I'm gathering from people who possess a level of cynicism to where, they believe all Americans deserve what's happening and been happening. I don't agree with that.

There are 75 million Americans, who tried, really tried to get out there and prevent what was to come. We just didn't expect to be outnumbered by two million more people. But I think it's unfair to say that those 75 million americans who tried to prevent the floodgates from opening, deserve this. Because they don't.

There are other countries out in the world right now, who have just as bad leadership if not worse. Should we just assume the people there deserve it? No. Because there are probably people who are likely against their corrupt leaders. America is no different in that field.

We will try again come mid-terms, provided there are mid-terms. Hopefully the 77 million americans who did in fact vote for trump, have gotten enough of a wake-up call, that maybe their poor judgment and poorer decision making wasn't as good as they thought. Because it is they that have damned us to this mess and we know it, we've seen it.

But don't get this idea in your head that every American endorse the idea that we like what we have.

Listen bro, at least you had a chance to vote. We had our drug lord ex-president pardoned by Trump just because he's right wing, and probably with the help of a bribe. Trump straight up said who should win in our elections like 2 days before our elections, and threatened the country if the wrong party won. Guess what happened. GUESS.

Forgive me for not really giving a fuck about the poor good guys that didn't vote Trump, when he never should've made it back into the ballot in the first place. The american system just failed the whole world. AGAIN. Few people will have a positive sentiment of the US right now with all the shit that's hitting the fan, all because you fuckers couldn't prosecute or get rid of the most transparently criminal US president in history.

For what it's worth, y'all share my hatred with the ABSOLUTE FUCKING RETARDS around here who were all "kamala is worse because Gaza, vote trump" even though they claimed to be left wing. If a leftist seriously typed that shit back then all over Lemmy, y'all need a fucking lobotomy, you damn retards.
