I feel bad for the innocent Americans who are gonna suffer... people who honestly didn't ask for or want any of this.

I mean the conservatives definitely asked for this, as did the democrats who didn’t vote, and the majority of Americans who don’t vote at all.

So you don't believe there are any Americans who don't deserve to suffer for what's happening?

There is a minority who didn’t directly contribute to it, yes.

It was something like 48.5% of voters, maybe over 49% depending how you count third party voters
