It was not Trump voters who earned us our future, but the billionaires who made the Democrats so shit that fascism seemed like a good idea. The rich have all the power, and thus, all of the responsibility.

Sorry, but if you blame the people we need to help and work with, things will never get better.

You're absolutely right, let's absolve fascist voters for voting for fascism. They were just ~~economically anxious~~ 'disillusioned'.

Blaming an electorally apathetic working class convinced that the system is corrupt is wasted energy.

"Blaming people for voting for fascists is wasted energy"

Of course. People are never responsible for their own votes. The People(tm) are always ontologically good, unlike the closed caste of Capitalist Lizardmen Elites.

The rich capitalists standing in the way of popular left wing policies are why people didn’t think they needed to vote.

Oh, right, the rich capitalists vetoed the popular left wing policies that the people turned out to support in their parties.

What's that? No? This bullshit is a result of the votes of the electorate and not a shadow cabal of capitalist puppetmasters?

The system was too corrupt to think it was worth upholding, even if things are far worse now as a result.

I'm so glad accelerationism is all the rage now.

I don’t blame people for thinking electoralism didn’t matter or didn’t help, because the system gave them every reason to think that.

Is this the same system that has seen massive changes in accordance with changing popular opinion in the past 30 years alone, including massive gains for LGBT rights?
