    Yeah, blame the voters and not the trillion dollar propaganda machine that brought us here. That’ll fix things.

    Remember kids, if someone has spent billions of dollars to convince you and everyone around you that up is down and right is wrong, well then, it’s entirely on you for falling for that and everyone will hate you for it. /s

    Like, yeah, it’s frustrating that people don’t get it. But also they’ve been cutting funding for education since Reagan, overturned the fairness doctrine, and media conglomeration is silencing voices of dissent. The most powerful people have been pushing this direction for a very long time, and you’re blaming the victims of that system for the results that that system is attempting to guarantee through policy.

      Yes, I understand all that. Still, there are voters that gleefully vote Republican because they hope that the government will hurt others. Look forward to that hurting. Also, there are plenty of voters that vote (or don’t vote) for some single-issue dumbassery.

      Those people absolutely have a lot to answer for.
