Blame is multi-faceted: the ones who voted for him have a type of complicity and the ones who could have helped but didn’t have a different complicity.
I’m seeing a lot more vitriol aimed at those with less complicity, non-voters, than those with maximum complicity, Trump voters, in media and social media.
Weird to be angrier at the indolent than the aggressors. It’s like being angrier at the quiet Germans keeping their heads down in the late 1930s than the motherfuckers goosestepping down the street with a rifle in one arm and a swastika on the other. One is simply a coward, the other is the problem.
I can’t vouch for what you see, but what you mention reminds me of the vitriol directed at Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema when there were literally 50 hard no votes (hole-drillers) on every vote they ever made.

They shouldn’t get credit or blame.
Again, neoliberals are trying to conflate the people drilling the holes(Trump voters) in the ship with people standing around.

If you’re just standing around you’re complicit, you don’t get to escape the blame and you should face consequences.
