It's too late. We are all complicit now. This blood will not wash out.

We could have stopped him after (insert abomination here), but we didn't. And now we could have stopped him abandoning Ukraine, but we haven't. We can save the Palestinians, but we won't.
Like Jake Spoon in Lonesome Dove, we're riding with a criminal gang so we don't have to do the hard things. The blood of babies are on all our hands, and a retribution will come.

However, I don’t participate or condone their actions. Each of us can stand up to the atrocious actions of criminals. Practice peace and responsibility with ourselves and our neighbors.
Peace ☮️

population of a country responsible for the actions of a leader, especially if they voted for the leaders' opposition, or weren't allowed to vote at all. For example not all Israeli's are responsible for what Netanyahu does, and not all Russian's are responsible for what Putin does.

The only ones responsible here are tsf, the SC6, the Republicans in the House and Senate, and anyone who voted for tsf and them.

Also for those who willfully voted for a third party candidate, & those who were able to vote but sat on their asses and didn't vote like petulant children because they didn't get 100 percent of what they demanded. They knew they were throwing the election to tsf but they were too set on carrying on their tantrums.

I donated to Biden and Harris, I shared my knowledge of History and Political Science to warn people about the dictatorial tendencies tsf was exhibiting and voted for only Democrats. I may have had no choice in letting people blame me for things I wasn't responsible for as a child, but I no longer tolerate it. So while you're free to place yourself in the "royal we" please don't make that decision for all of us here.

…special reports and special prosecutors, and the forces of truth and justice were defeated on a straight party-line vote each time.

“We? “ I feel kinda like Tonto in the Lone Ranger, to wit:
LR : We’re surrounded by Indians, Tonto!
Tonto: what do you mean “we” white man?
