James Hodgkinson, the DC Shooter, Has Himself to Blame for Electing Trump [View all]

[louis c]

James Hodgkinson was obsessed with his hatred for Donald Trump. He was consumed by it. Yet, he has himself, and others who voted like him, to blame.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not accusing people who voted like him as being as crazy as him, but he should have been more upset with himself than with others.

You see, James posted on his face book page his support for Jill Stein in the General Election. It is my contention that voters who hate Trump, but left the General Election ballot blank for President, or voted minor party, or wrote in a name, those are the voters responsible for electing Donald Trump President.

Republicans voted for Trump in the General Election because it was the one chance in a generation to control every branch of government. They knew the 9th vote in the Supreme Court would shape this nation for decades. I don't blame them. They voted in their own best interests, even though I disagree with their policies.

No, it was voters like James Hodgkinson who voted against their own best interests who sunk themselves, and us with them. They're to blame.


<snip>•Last year, the Facebook page offered messages of opposition to “Lying, Cheating Hillary” who he says “stole” the Democratic primary from Sen. Bernie Sanders. His Facebook page encouraged followers to either vote for third-party candidate Jill Stein or to write in Sanders in the 2016 election.<snip>.
