Same thing in the USA. Trump is a symptom. He could drop dead tomorrow and somehow take half of the admin with him, and the problem would still be there. The underlying problem is that roughly 1/3rd of your population is frothing at the mouth to slaughter another 1/3rd while the final third stand by and watch silently. This is not something you can fix with elections alone.
And according to some on here, we shouldn't blame any of the individuals in that final third because it's not fair to put the blame on them for the shit they stand by and tacitly support or something.
It's amazing how far some people will go to excuse the actions of those who are content to watch fascism take hold and murder it's fellow citizens while doing nothing about it.
It's funny how this comment can be read by two opposing sides who would still agree with it:
I personally strongly disagree with one of those statements but both can be interpreted 100% in agreement with what you wrote
I'd love to see you make that argument, considering the 'did not vote' crowd would be much closer to supporting this than the democrat vote.
"the people who didn't vote for genocide are actually closer to supporting genocide then the people who explicitly voted for genocide"
