Collective punishment is the only way to stop stupid from putting stupid in power.
We the people picked this. Even the ones that didn’t. Everyone is equally at fault no matter what or the circumstances.
That’s the very fucking definition of democracy.
We all get to enjoy the benefits when we do well and we all get punished when we fuck up. We arent a dictatorship. We can’t just blame our government for sucking.
The people ARE at fault.
The USA is functionally an oligarchy, not a democracy. The groups with the most money hold untoward amounts of explicit and implicit power. Moneyed business interests own and control entire political parties, media outlets, financial institutions, etc.
It is truly terrifying to comprehend the breadth and depth of the dystopia that has roots in corporate greed. Modern pervasive surveillance technology implemented by the commercial sector worldwide makes real-time identification of dissent trivially easy. Laws may exist on paper to protect and empower citizens, but if corruption overrides accountability to those laws then functionally the government is authoritarian.
The average citizen in any oligarchy has very little influence or power over their government.
But not ALL the people, many didn’t voted trump and many are doing protests/manifestations, not ALL people are fault.
Doing that shit of punishing everyone who is citizen in USA is so fucking stupid and childish
