Who's responsible for the 'conditions' which allow Hitler/Trump to gain popularity? Most definitely not the voters/general population. You can't really blame them for being deplorable. They just want a better life and Hitler/Trump made it look like they're able to give them what they want. Better life.
Bottomline is that if we're going to have a true/free democracy, you can't really blame voters for voting for the wrong answer! Why do they put wrong answers on the ballot at the 1st place? If we cannot prevent wrong answers from getting onto ballots, then perhaps democracy is a bad idea.
Anyway, I don't want to drag this on for too long, if any of you wish to continue, perhaps we can move to that philosophical political thread. Otherwise, just shut the fuck up already. It's 2 years ago. I don't regret my vote. I'd do it again if we have a time machine to travel back in time. If you truly have a good reason and wish to convince me, move to the other thread.
