    The apathy of the masses.

      Calling this apathy is letting Nazis off easy. This isn’t apathy, this is a massive chunk of the US population willingly acting on this. Today is truly a tragedy.

        They’re no less at fault. Fascists were always going to vote. Non-voters had the power to decide. Self-titled “centrists” and “apoliticals”, or those who adopted a stupid moral high ground because of one thing that Harris did or did not say, made a choice that amounted to “I’m okay with the worse outcome”. They failed to vote against the worse outcome.

        Fascism is a cancer that should be excised with prejudice. So is abstention. And Americans should hold them equally responsible for every harm and every life.

          Non-voters can turn fascist too. There’s no guarantee that if everyone voted, the results wouldn’t be the same.

            Except everything we know about voting in America disagrees with you

        I’m fully expecting a “night of the long knives” type of situation now. Hope to be wrong about it, but I haven’t been so far.

        That’s the problem, you see. Fascists and zealots were always going to vote. The decision was in the hands of the people who didn’t, and they’re at fault exactly as much as fascists.
