Not at all. That is how politics in the US works.
Anyway, I wasn't the one blaming anyone for
anything. I did remark that it is interesting how
socially activist the middle class becomes when
it is they themselves affected but then usually
buy into the line about US democracy preserving
their freedoms and getting government off their
backs. That is not bullshit. That is how it works
in the US and it is a hard wall to break down.
