    they had every right to be frustrated with how things are, but this will not fix anything and they will find out very quickly. its a shame.

      The problem with simply being “frustrated” about current material conditions is that frustration is unproductive. You have to channel it into something. If that “something” is fucking fascism, you’re an evil person without morals. So while I understand how it happens I cannot absolve people of the crime of voting for an open fascist.

        In this case it is not just unproductive, it’s destructive. American voters, especially those who voted for Biden last time chose to stay at home.

        Biden administration was stumbling so the voters gave the keys to someone who’s going to cut off both legs.

      If they were going to realize it, they would’ve realized it after the first Trump term (and 2020 especially). They’ll continue to eat up lies that blame whatever marginalized group they’re hating that day.

      The shame is that they won’t care. These people will just find another scapegoat and punt the ball down the line.
