On one hand, they're proud of having voted for the candidate and want you to know they did, but on the other hand, they want to distance themselves from any culpability for his actions.
Will somebody tell them, "You can't have it both ways," as a citizen?
Grow up and take responsibility for your choice, which includes the possibility of repenting in the light of reflection or otherwise being party to the vulgarity, insults, lies, and the general mess he's left the nation and world to endure. (Reflection? We've never heard him admit he's ever done anything wrong, which means he's never even said he's sorry for anything he's done. Mistakes are always someone else's fault. That would put him a bit higher than Jesus.)
There's no denying the loser's the king of blame, casting censure on everyone but the one-and-only he faces admiring himself alone in a mirror. I, for one, am exhausted by the gush of blame that's been poured on what we've treasured and join.
So, yes, be prepared to be blamed or praised.
Voting is a serious responsibility, folks. Embracing what your candidate has done, in and out of office, ultimately reflects on your own values and character – and we've all had to face the ugly consequences.
Before blaming Biden for things like higher fuel prices, see instead how they stem from the Donald's encouragement of his Russian pal, Putin. As for inflation, how about those fat checks the fed government handed out with Donald J. Trump as the signature?
Running deeper in this is the denial that the American political system is based on a multi-party dynamic, with the minority serving as a loyal opposition. There's been nothing loyal about this GOP, not since it turned obstructionist back before Obama. Instead, it's been trying to wreck the machinery of a just republic. That identity is anything but conservative.
If you're proud of his true record, stand up. But face it all, not just the cherry-picked Fox version.
And don't think you're above blame or shame.
A good dose of humility is a virtue.
Shame on you, if you're trying to shirk off the consequences of your vote.
