    Silly me. I thought it was the fascists and all the arseholes who voted for the fascists that caused the fascism. I didn’t realise it was the people who provided the alternative to the fascists that actually caused the fascism.

    If you really want to actually blame something other than the fascists, then your electoral system is about 99% responsible for the current fascist shit storm.

      All I’m seeing is people basically make the argument “The Jews are responsible for Nazi Germany!” Like, I’m one of the people the regime wants to “eradicate from public life. No exceptions” and I did my damnedest to support Harris, tried to warn everyone, did my best, and now all I hear is how it’s my fault I did this. It’s victim blaming by garbage people who I used to really give a fuck about. What even is the point anymore? At least the suffering I’ll go through won’t just be me alone. I can die knowing the suffering is coming for them and their families too. They certainly deserve it as much as I do.

      You’re making this out to be as if what the alternative is offering to voters doesn’t matter.

      I will never understand the mental gymnastics you people do to come to the conclusion that the democrats are totally blameless for our current situation.

        It’s similar to the mental gymnastics people do to place the blame on the losers and not the people actually enacting the changes.
