If they are American, they are not innocent.

    I am an American, and I have never and would never support the fascist, pedophile scum currently running the country.

    However, you're right. Hurt us harder. The dickheads in this shit hole country won't learn a lesson even as their children starve to death, but bring it on.

    If you voted Democrat (as flawed as they are) seems reasonable to give a pass. 159 million of the 236 million ie. two thirds of the voting age population either voted for trump or didn't vote at all. They allowed this to happen.

    Don't give us a pass. We're American and participating in this system. We prop it up by paying taxes and continuing to buy goods and services from companies whose focus is shareholder profits, not better performance for the buyers or better pay or conditions for the workers. This is how it's designed to work: a ton of American companies are incorporated in Delaware because of the financial benefits they get, and in Delaware, a company has a legal obligation to work towards shareholder profit. That's the law on the books. There's nothing about improving product/service quality, but we've got laws to make sure the money people get the lion's share of the benefit from everybody's labor.

    There are plenty of Americans who didn't vote for this guy and hate literally everything about him and what he stands for, but until we recognize our complicity in the way the country works and start changing our shopping habits, there just aren't any innocent Americans.
