Maybe Americans should take responsibility for electing a maniac as their President. In the end, the buck stops with Americans.

~1/3rd of US citizens voted for him. Don’t lump us all in.
Some of you are just guilty of negligence yes.
Or maybe it's that our archaic system was designed so that some people's votes literally matter more than others, and more than half the country does not have a meaningful voice in our Federal elections.

I vote in local, state, and federal elections. I have volunteered with multiple campaigns and causes, and given substantial time/labor to the EFF. I have been harassed by Trump supporters while filming protests and other civic action. Please do not presume to know me.
I get you’re angry but you’re swinging at the wrong person.

Good. But the parent was blaming Trump on disinformation propaganda, and it is important to point out that the remaining 1/3-rd of the country is not some kind of idiot army that replaced their brains with FB propaganda. They voted for this actively.
Also, in a democracy you don't get to disavow 1/3rd of the population that didn't vote with you.
2/3rd’s* that didn’t vote with you.
Clearly you do, since Donald Trump has been aggressively doing this for his whole political career. I agree that it's a morally problematic thing to do, and it can be bad tactically depending on the situation. Practically, it does happen without consequences.
Not if the election was stolen. There was a smattering of evidence after the election but the speed with which is disappeared was truly something to behold.
