I feel like we’re all missing the point here. Sure, most people probably didn’t want THIS to happen, and want to distance themselves from the those who voted for him most recently. The reality is way more layered than that. It’s not just those that voted for him once, or even twice. All of our actions and inactions that led to the politicians and presidents prior to this being elected, allowed the policies and loopholes for this to happen. And so much more! This should have never been an option for us to choose. We all helped in some capacity whether we realize it or not. It’s now impacting the rest of the world more clearly than ever, and they’re mad. They should be. We need to do better.
Agreed, no singular action got us here, and no singular action will fix it. I’d like to believe, independently we all mean well and thought we were doing enough. As a whole, we did not. No one person is going to fix this, we need to work together to make this better, regardless of who we feel us at fault. Saying sorry or yelling “not it!” helped get us here. Let’s all be part of the solution, being complacent is exacerbating the problem.
