I think the scoreboard revisionist history is sick. Did Americans single handedly save the world with a WW2 victory of Germany? No, of course not. But, I also resent the "we could have won without you" b.s. too. It's disrespectful to everyone who fought. I mean, nobody in this Reddit thread did a damn thing either way. WW2 was over decades before most of us were born.
Truth is, yeah, Americans of voting age are all responsible for the sh..show in D.C. right now. It's a monstrosity. Shame on all of us for letting it happen. We have an administration obvs under the thumb of Putin, turning our backs on current allies for no apparent reason. For that, we definitely owe an apology to the world.
I get ya, just one sticking point: i gave money to the extent that it genuinely hurt to give to opposition campaigns and went through the meaningless exercise of going to vote in TN. Record turnout. No matter. Not even close. Red always wins. Could I have done more? No doubt. But I really was putting in more than it was comfortable to do. I REALLY cannot stand this point in our history. It's got "epically horrible events" stamped all over it. So here we go. Doesn't matter whose fault it was now. We're all in it.
