Since when do we blame the victims of a crime for the actions of the criminals?

Putting the coming installation of Trump & the resulting disaster - things which have most likely been in the works for many years - at the feet of Hillary Clinton & the Democrats isn't any different than claiming a rape victim wouldn't have been raped if only they hadn't dressed so provocatively, or if only they'd found Jesus, if only they hadn't been so promiscuous, if only..., if only..., if only.... All excuses to distract for the real issue.

And it's ALL FUCKING BULLSHIT!! America was attacked! Trump & the GOP were complicit in it! The only real defeat would be to refuse to acknowledge their actions and to dismantle the party that won the Presidential contest by 3 million votes.

The Democrats message isn't the problem. The ongoing criminal coup is.

... control by over analyzing the peripheral.

There are some long term strategies that are low hanging fruit for rural areas but some like to ignore Comey, Voter suppression and Russia
