I just want to point out the sometimes-overlooked fact that we are also here (delivered to hands of fascists) because so god damn many Americans wanted it. Arguably the voting system worked great because most of the voters wanted the guy who promised a racist dictatorship.
That doesn’t necessarily change how we respond to the situation now (I am local focused for sure), and yeah maybe there was election rigging and cheating so it shouldn’t have gone this way… but damn do we have a culture problem moreso than a political system problem.
Granted a lot of the culture problem is the direct result of politics, and all the propaganda and media influence that people don’t even realize is attracting their political beliefs. Stuff us complicated for sure.
I can’t disagree with much there!
