Who is to blame??

We like to blame everything on Donald Trump. And he is a despicable, immoral, greedy, convicted criminal, but he is not to blame for where we are today. He is being used as a catalyst because of his appeal to a specific group of Americans.

But he could do nothing by himself.

He could not lead an insurrection against our country and suffer no consequences without some assistance.

He could not steal national secrets and get off scot-free unless he had some help.

He could not commit one impeachable offense after another if he was held accountable.

He would not be in Qatar accepting a bribe of a $400 million dollar "palace in the sky" if he was required to follow some rules.

So, who is permitting Trump to do all these illegal and unconstitutional acts?

It is the Republicans in the US House and Senate. They are the responsible people that have put us into the grip of an autocracy and have destroyed our democracy.

Nothing could happen with Trump if the Republicans had not wanted it to happen. They are the reason we are where we are today. Trump would be worthless without them. He takes the heat for them.

But, he alone, could do nothing, if the Republicans followed our laws and our Constitution. But they are the real criminals that are over-looked by a lot Americans.

Maybe someday they will get the reward they deserve?

US congress, judges, billionaires, media, MAGA cult, indifferent Americans.

China, Russia, other hostile foreign enemies who have helped rig US elections.

The pursuit of wealth and power at all costs brought us all here and there is a whole lot of blame to be shared.

As well as the idiot voters on both sides, especially the non voters and switch to psycho voters. In addition the system is to blame because he never should have been allowed to run at all, and there is no easy way to get rid of a lunatic.
