(5,034 posts)Hell I am angry at our government and those that voted for tsf. If you count the number of Harris voters, the people who were disenfranchised, and the percentage of people who didn't vote, however, it should be clear tsf was not given a mandate by all of us.
I do think people who didn't vote are partially responsible, and shouldn't be sparred some criticism, but if they were his rabid cult members who applaud everything he does, they would have voted for him.
Again I don't hold all Russian's responsible for what Putin does, or all Israeli's or Palestinians responsible for what their leadership does, or all Chinese people responsible for Xi's regime. To not even recognize there is a large number of people who oppose these regimes is giving an unfair and unbalanced assessment of the situations, and ignoring the pain and anger of people who are also innocent victims.
Also at least on social media there are plenty of Americans siding with and defending Canada.
Just my opinion, but I don't like it when people make generic assumptions about a large group of people, and lump them all together, or blame even the people who aren't responsible for the bad actions of others. Then again group punishment is a sore spot for me because of grade school, and a mother who was constantly blaming me for things I didn't do.
