As an non-american, I would blame american voters for supporting the US military complex. It doesn't matter what you vote for and that you've been propagandized into the "lesser evil" thinking. The blood is on your hand.

Yes, Trump rhetoric is anti-elitist, anti-liberal ultra-nationalist targeted at an empoverished working class. Exactly like national-socialism. And exactly like national-socialism, it's profiting off the contradictions of liberals who pretend to be progressive while upholding inequalities.
I do understand (and I am sure you mean well, not attacking you as a person). But the confusion isn't just a detail here, it's inherent to what you're saying. Look up what happened in Berlin in 1933, for example. Liberal conciliating attitude paved the way to nazism.
In 1830, a slave revolt in the US saw the slaves committing atrocities, rape and murder, calling to "kill all the white". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_Turner%27s_slave_rebellion
Does that mean we're pro-slavery?
