    Well who else’s fault was it going to be? And they didn’t “contribute” they “caused”.

    Contribute would seem to suggest that have they not backed him and given support he would have somehow still become president. Which isn’t the case because he wouldn’t have done.

      I’ve been calling Trump the symptom and not the problem since 2016. He is the direct result of the decades of GOP rhetoric. They’ve always been building toward a demagogue since Regan.
