What if I voted for Trump in ‘16 and have since had the scales fall from my eyes and want him locked up in the arctic as much as the next guy? Am I still your enemy?
it's a fair question, i guess we'll see.. but in general, i expect every one of you to fuck up as soon as you get the chance.. you say the scales fell from your eyes.. that's poetic, i like that.. you all have a ready excuse.. your problem was thinking you had eyes to begin with.. you're all as blind and ignorant as possible, and i don't expect that to change..
tell me the Penance you voluntarily did for causing January 6th
In no way did I cause what happened on January 6. I’m arguably not responsible for Trump taking office in ‘16, even if I did vote for him, because of the electoral college nonsense. More people voted for Clinton than for Trump, but he still won the election; does that seem like a fair system in which the individual people participating actually have any control or influence? If the people participating in a system have no more say in its outcome than those riding a rollercoaster, how responsible can they be? I could have voted for Clinton in ‘16, but I lived in Georgia at the time, so I’m confident my county would have come out in favor of Trump regardless of my vote.
Sure if zero people voted for Trump in ‘16 then he wouldn’t have taken office, but that’s all beside the point. A bunch of individual people made the decision to storm the White House on Jan. 6 because they have that sovereignty to make their own decisions for themselves; you and I may disagree with the decision they made, but no one else can be blamed or forced to take responsibility for something another distinct and separate human being did.
at this point you need to refer back to my initial statement.. it applies to you 100%.. if you have any further questions, see my profile statement.. it is also about you..
