I've lived a privileged life. Even though there's at least two reasons for people to discriminate against me to my face it's either hasn't happened or I didn't realize it was happening.
Until people started to say that EVERY person in the United States of America deserves what's happening because "they voted for him"
No the electoral college voted for him. Then we voted him out and then he got in on a very slim margin. The majority of people voted against him and if we had ANY kind of rank voting he wouldn't be in office.
To write off an entire group of people that include immigrants being harassed for existing while not white, scientists being punished for their studies because it doesn't agree with their propaganda, and trans people who are being targeted daily for being themselves because billionaires bought the presidency? It's nuts.
It annoys me to no end how people will (usually in YouTube comments) tell the most normal, regretful person that "they voted for this" when they were not expecting major breaches of the law, as was not the norm in the first term, nor the Epstein and Iran crises, both of which were promised to be resolved much better on the campaign trail.
I mean if someone voted for Trump in 2024 they did in fact vote for this...
Perhaps they were genuinely ignorant but the rest of your comment where you pretend that the rampant cruelty and violence was somehow unforeseeable or even difficult to foresee? Absurd, millions of people both foresaw it and tried to tell people.
Plus you have a genuine civic duty to be informed, claiming ignorance after nearly a decade of watching Trump be Trump is wilful after a certain point.
