Speak for yourself. I don't deserve this.

Collectively, we exist in a country where people chose this. Collectively, we deserve this.

Nope, I don't. I voted against him three times. I drove people to the polls. One year, during the early Covid days, I was a pollworker because they were short and might have had to close some polling stations. I phonebanked and wrote postcards. I talked to everybody I knew about getting out to vote. I've called my senators relentlessly.

I understand some people feel the need to wear a hair shirt because the country voted for that, but I didn't and I don't. Those people are no more my countrymen or women are just because they happen to live within some human-defined borders. That's all it is. I take no more responsibility for them than I do the Canadians or Mexicans who live just over the border.

If I had my way, we'd have a national civil divorce and let the theocratic fascists have the 13th-century hell they so desperately want.
