    Because regular adults should be responsible enough to see through blatant manipulation by blatantly bad actors. And if they can’t, that’s no one else’s fault but their own.

      That’s not an answer to why you hold regular people to account for their actions but not the politicians and strategists actually running the campaign.

      Also it wasn’t “manipulation”. The genocide actually happened.

        1. I do hold the politicians and strategists accountable. Why would you imply that I don’t, when I never said that? I simply called out regular people for also being responsible and, in my opinion, more responsible.

        2. Because there’s way more regular people than politicians and strategists and those regular people gave those politicians and strategists power by falling for their blatant manipulation by refusing to do their due diligence as citizens in a democracy and informing themselves responsibly.

          You literally entered a comment thread to reply to a post where that was the only question and now you’re confused it’s being asked?
