Ms. Sarandon, self-righteous liberals, Hillary Haters, all the rest, SEE what's happening TODAY?

150. This is the direct result of 2016

and the results--stripping away of equal rights--will be felt for generations. Elections have consequences. People don't get to ally themselves with fascism and pretend they have nothing to do with the results. Of course, it was never their rights or their lives that were on the line, which is why they argued over and over again that the courts didn't matter. You may think it was just an election, as though it were nothing. But for the lives of the vulnerable, it has struck them down for a generation. For some of the Vichy collaboration, it was deliberate. They chose white male supremacy for a reason.

At the very least, Trump/3rd party voters (because some did directly vote for Trump) chose only to think of themselves. Trump was a narcissist elected by a narcissistic culture that mirrored him, and the refusal of the pseudo-left to vote Democratic was part of that culture. Of course people who repeatedly align themselves with the most RW elements in society--as Sarandon has done for many elections--aren't on the left at all. People can pretend to believe what they want; it's actions that count. People ARE what they DO.

They of course aren't the only reason Hillary lost. Comey and the Russians obviously played a role. But the never Hillary voters were connected to the Russian interference because they eagerly spread Russian propaganda. Putin couldn't have orchestrated Trump's election without them, which is why he specifically targeted them. They lapped it up, and to this day refuse to acknowledge what they did. Of course they deflect blame onto everyone else for the same reasons they voted for Trump or a third party in the first place--callous disregard for the lives of anyone but themselves.
