At this point I don't blame Republicans, they are exactly the christo-fascist criminal hypocrites that they always have been.

At this point I don't blame Democrats, utterly underwhelming and politically ineffective as they are.

Nope. At THIS POINT I blame the lazy fat dumb-as-shit American fuckwad populace. "We The People" just gave knuckle-dragging fascist dipshits the keys to every branch of government as well as a mandate to do basically whatever the fuck they want for no reason other than the price of Doritos being higher. It turns out that the real enemy of the people is the American people themselves, who make the worst possible decisions and act against their own interest at every opportunity, only later to point fingers at the same politicians that they helped elect in the first place.

In other words, if you voted for anybody but Harris I can only say "fuck you, you deserve exactly whatever is coming".

Power has been out of the hands of the people for a while now. SuperPACs influence the choice of candidates and lobbyists write the laws they pass.
