    The people with crumbs STILL doing nothing despite having nothing to lose will allow America to be destroyed.

        You’ve spent half a century watching these people and knowing exactly what they will do. Sure, I guess if it makes you feel better, you can “blame them” the same way I’d blame a bunch of 12-year-olds playing with fireworks in a warehouse full of gasoline. But at a certain point, the people who knew exactly what was going to happen and kept allowing them to obtain matches are the ones who need to be held responsible and deserve whatever they get if not.

      They aren’t doing nothing. They are actively supporting these policies, going to Trump rallies, and blaming immigrants and trans children.

      Trump is funded by the ultra rich. He is supported by the uneducated poor.
