I’m not giving in. I just think we deserve everything that’s going to happen.

We (Americans) do, the rest of the world, no.

Even Americans as a whole dont. Did you vote for Trump? Given the userbase of this platform, Im guessing likely not. What about someone who isnt yet of voting age? Or even who was just born, and therefore cant even have contributed memes and talking points to Trump's cause? There are a great many people who did what they could to stop Trump and were outnumbered, or who simply had no ability to affect the situation and so had no part in causing it. All these people are guilty of is happening to be born within the same lines on a map as a bunch of fascists and fools that have been duped by fascists.
