The funny part to me is the people who actually support Trump are laughing their asses off that the euros are mad. They love it more than they love owning the libs. Hate is what they based their entire personality around, you cannot out-hate a fascist.
See they are actually 2 very different situations, because only 30% of German voters voted for the Nazis, whereas 50% of America voters voluntarily got off their arses to cast a vote for Trump (i.e. vote for a sexual abuser, and a platform of division and hatred) …
Yes that’s a problem but you directly asserted that a larger percentage of Americans voted for it than Germans did in the past which is flatly wrong. Interesting that you didn’t even acknowledge that whatsoever
Yes, we have a disenfranchisement problem in the US. Between voter rolls being purged, people losing their right to vote due to felonies, gerrymandering out the ass, voter ID and other such nonsense trying to stop legal votes, and purposeful locking down/ limiting of voting places, it’s honestly impressive so many were still able to vote. Doesn’t change that what you said was wrong.
And it’s 188 million, unless you think a vote for Harris wasn’t voting against Trump.
A majority never have and never will vote, it’s stupid but true. They just tune it out because it doesn’t “effect them” because they don’t realize how much it can and does.
I’m sure not all Germans in WW2 were bad, but we still collectively punished them, because they were there and let it happen. 70% of Americans knowingly didn’t vote against this and that’s a high enough percentage to hold them collectively responsible, without even delving into all the complacency and complicity that lead to the point where it was even possible.
The people who flooded the subreddit with sorry are fucking dumb.
And when you blame all Americans, this is what you sound like:

Approx. 17.3 million people voted for the nazis in 1933, total population was 67.7 million, for 25.5% of the population.
Approx. 77.3 million people voted for trump in 2024, total population was 340.1 million, for 22.7% of the population.
No, the fascist gained power here with even less of a mandate than the nazis.
263 million Americans decided they didn’t care enough to vote against a convicted sexual abuser running their country…

Or they’re white and well off enough to not care
No, it was also about 30% for Trump. Most people just don’t vote at all and the electoral college was designed to bypass popular votes.
Yes that’s why I was very careful to say “voters” and not "Americans.
If you’re considering all members of the population, then the % of Germans who voted for the Nazis was closer to 20%.
America is an absolute embarrassment.
So you agree with the position that Russians shouldn’t be punished for the war with Ukraine?
Why would the average Russian, who I heard doesn’t even want to do this stupid Ukraine war, be punished?
Why are they punished then?
Not every Russian is Putin. I feel bad for the queer people over there, too.
As I mentioned to another commenter, the majority of USians don’t seem to share this sentiment.
You’ve talked to a majority of Americans, have you?
You have, presumably?
I do… Like obviously. They had no control over that decision or access to accurate information
You may find that this is not the majority’s position in the US itself.
So are you Russian or from the US? Because you seen to be speaking for both
Even living in a hotbed of Trump supporters, I don’t find that at all. They’re mostly heroically uniformed
Because propaganda works, and Clinton cut the protections of the press from capital acquisition
It’s difficult to call Reddit a conservative platform, but you won’t find much sympathy for Russians there.
