    anyone who voted for the orange cancer is complicit.

    when all this is over, there better be some consequences for them.

      anyone who voted for the orange cancer is complicit.

      As is anyone who failed to vote against him. I’m not talking about stay-at-home Democrats either. I know Ayn Rand-ish “libertarian” old-time Republicans who always toed the old-school Republican lines on healthcare, social spending, global warming, taxes, offense spending &etc, who KNEW that Trump was a fraud and a nascent dictator, and who refused to vote against him because “my vote doesn’t matter, the Whole System is a charade, there are People in power who control everything including elections and who just pretend to give us the illusion of choice every few years at the polls”. Basically a stupid excuse to avoid admitting that they’ve spent a lifetime wallowing in the deep end of the conservative bullshit pool only to have it end in a dystopia that will drown them too. Anything is better than admitting to having been wrong with their whole ideology for their whole lives. Wrong = weak, and I suspect too that they’re thinking “anyway, I donated $100 to a Trump election PAC, surely I’ll be OK, they won’t be coming for me.”
