RE: We are still stuck!

Let this be a lesson to all of those who think that your vote doesn't matter...

It may have the opposite effect. People are so disillusioned. They see their elected representatives (Congress) doing nothing.

I don't agree that voters who make a mistake deserve everything they get. There is the temptation to be angry with people who voted this man into office. Some of them got what they wanted. They still support him. Others were fooled. They believed the lies that were shoveled at them. If someone steals from me because I don't recognize a fraud, do I deserve that cheat because I was ignorant? If I forget to lock my car and someone steals it, sure I share blame, but do I deserve to have my car stolen?

No. Don't blame the victim--foolish though that victim may be. Blame the criminal.

I am sorry, but I disagree. I could buy this argument if we didn't have four years of Trump and the January 6th riots and all the documentaries about Trump and his family going back to his father who was basically stealing from the tax payers while building government subsidized housing. But after all that to vote for an indicted criminal, I am sorry that is just too much to claim that they were fooled and are actually innocent victims.

building government subsidized housing

For whom? For the Russian mob. For Chabad Lubavitch, to whom Zelensky, Putin, and Netanyahu all similarly grovel. The devil is in the details, they say.

Go ahead and blame the victims, as you are one of them. Nonetheless, freedom will arise, and then none will have anyone to blame but themselves.
