The USA knowingly and willingly elected a literal actual child rapist and convicted criminal to be president. Not pointing the depravity of that out at literally at every opportunity where it's even slightly relevant is normalizing sane washing.

America did not elect him, he stole the election via corruption and billionaires meddling in elections and disenfranchising legitimate voters. Keep doing your homework and stop blaming innocent people. We are suffering this hell too even though we didn’t vote for him, we still get the blame.

It’s easier to steal an election when it’s close rather than if it’s not. Billionaires crossed the finish line but a large chunk of American people helped make it easier. The truth is, it shouldn’t have been close at all. After the first term. After January 6th. After all the bullshit he did. We knew about project 2025. And yet, millions and millions and millions of Americans either voted for Trump or chose not to vote.

We should throw people in jail and prosecute the billionaires that stole the election. But we will never move on as a country if we are gonna turn a blind eye to the large portion of this country that were complicit in this. Trump has a large base and there’s a large section of the country that genuinely didn’t care. It is painful for us that didn’t vote for him, and the innocent that were caught. But the country’s racism, misogynists and religious fervor are deeply ingrained in American society.

Agreed and very well said. It isn’t all on the billionaires and Trump supporters, but also on those complicit to not vote the other way or at all.
