People have a hard time with percentages, propensity, likelihood, etc. They can only think in binary terms. I used to think it was the right but looks like it's everyone.

It's crazy the amount of people that think the evil voters are at fault and not the political party that made a wedge issue out of fucking genocide of all things.
So glad the current guys got in! How's that going for ya btw? That genocide stop? No? It's accelerating? So glad more children can die so you can still confidently hold your nose in the air.
I hate the current guy even more. It seriously bothers me that the dems lost to him because they thought genocide was more important then you and me. I really wish they would have ran a proper platform, so we didnt have to vote for democracy and genocide at the same time, and still lose.
Keep blaming everyone but them and maybe we can have the same circus next election too. We all just have to come together and accept genocide, apathy and status quo like maybe three or four more times.

There's those who commit unintended mistakes, then there's those who give in to the temptation of behaving badly in their moments of weakness, and then there's those who can't wait for any given opportunity to behave maliciously and justify it by saying they aren't the only ones doing it.
Hey, don't judge me for commiting ethnic cleansing! Hitler did it as well, after all! And that one single bad apple in your group is mildly racist as well, so you're no better!
This isn't entirely new or unique to America, but the dynamic is essentially:
Party A improves the odds fascism is successfully implemented.
Party B implements it.
Reducing the conditions for fascism to take hold is strictly off the table for both A and B.
Fundamentally changing the system of Party A (or B for that matter) through voting alone would at least require a Party C.
But even so it is the internal party politics prior to and outside of elections that are keeping this fascism paradigm in place. And that's where people's frustrations tend to lie.
