    It’s just how it goes, you only have one administration and people see that as representing your country. Happens with Russia too even though Russians certainly didn’t vote to keep Putin in power for decades so you could just as well say none of them’s to blame but whether reasonable or not people think they should rise up like Ukrainians did in that case…

      It isn’t just one administration, that’s what Americans don’t understand. It wasn’t just Trump that brought us here. This outcome (fascist US) was inevitable with the geopolitical outcome of WW2 unless the US became more socialist. You didn’t, every President made the situation worse, including Obama (we prefer to call him Obomber). Wake up. You are the bad guys. You ALWAYS have been.

      You have to understand that there is a major difference between Russia and the USA though. Russia has been under totalitarian dictatorships since the middle age. They had a brief respite in the 90s when gangsters took over the country, and now its back to totalitarian dictatorship again. Russians has never had a chance to develop democratic values. The USA on the other hand certainly has, you just collectively decided that you hate brown people gays and trannies more than you like democracy.
