Edit: I voted for Harris, not Trump. Why don't you go ahead and tell me I shoulda voted third-party or something, hmmm? Or should I have picked up a gun and exercised my 2nd amendment rights? Go ahead, tell me how I'm responsible for this.

I'm not stupid.

Yet this isn't the first time someone's demanded that I take partial responsibility for my own oppression.
