Currently adult Americans had like ten different elections that allowed them to not end up in this mess. They failed like 8 of those, so here we are.
The amount of blame is directly proportional to the amount of agency people had. US was, until very recently, a democracy. A bit shitty one, but still, so everyone who was of a voting age share some of that responsibility.
Hitler was elected multiple times as well. His party didn’t have any more support than trump does. If we had more than a two party system, we would have elected Trump by the same margins as Hitler.
The problem is that kind and peaceful people are so reluctant to respond to violence with violence. If the first Nazis, upon starting their drivel, were promptly punched in the mouth, and that happened repeatedly, I feel they would have gotten a lot less done.
