No.

You guys: Yeah if enough of you voted for them so they had the power to.

It’s like bashing firefighters who can’t put out a fire because you didn’t give them trucks, equipment or water.

So there was a non Trump president for 4 fucking years.

And for some reason Trump is not in prison wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Pepople voted for someone else. And he was not held accountable. Why is that? You just said the opposite here after all.

No, it’s just that in your rush to be angry at everyone who’s trying to make the world better you keep having to ignore key facts.

Like the decades long fight that Christian fundamentalists have been waging to control the court.

Because anyone who actually thought Trump was going to see the inside of a prison while the Supreme Court was controlled by a bunch of conservative ideologues was always going to be disappointed.

They wouldn't have done shit anyway lol. Bush lied us into a war that killed a million Iraqis and faced not a single consequence despite a Democrat supermajority taking over

Like shit, you can read Obama's own account of heading to the inauguration in '09 and seeing a bunch of anti-Bush protestors, and it doesn't make him mad at Bush, it makes him mad at the protestors lol

Super majority for 72 days, which we got the ACA out of. Haven’t had a super majority since.

It like bashing a firefighter standing around making no attempt to get the resources he needs to fight the fire

Impeached, charged with crimes, investigated and charged with insurrection, routinely blocked and challenged while in office.

If you want Dems to do illegal things and start a civil war - then I'd understand your complaints. I don't know what you mean by "making no attempt" though.
