And it's not like it's going to be much better depending where you live in a lot of countries that are democracies(itself not so great under capitalism). Like what happened in the USA can happen and did happen in other countries to especially where fascist and authoritarian tendencies are on the rise.

This Perspektive also ignores bigger causes like media companies, systems of opression, political campaigns, lobbying groups and we'll people in power protecting their interests as well as the state, that can form and influence what becomes public opinion. And we'll far right fascist groups and their billionaires building this up for quite a while now.

Point being these developments are complicated and blaming the average American for trump's victory ignores the larger picture especially when you see people from Europe calling Americans stupid and thinking that an authoritarian takeover could never happen here in western eurooe. To that where just a few years behind but it is a very real possibility.

The people that sat out the process canceled out the people who didn’t want it and you can be mad at my comment or mad at the system for letting this happen.

But that doesn't mean that people who did not vote for him or literally could not vote in the first place are irrelevant. Or what about the people who are actively resisting?
