No, the American people voted for 156 million+ individual reasons, to include inflation, the economy, and all the other kitchen-table reasons one votes. To be sure, some subset of them are hateful people. But come on.

- ty6853 2y agoThey stood on the ruble of burned children at Waco to pose in glamour photos, sniped an innocent woman at Ruby Ridge, and drone striked a US citizen overseas. Hate is not unreasonable .
- itishappy 2y agoWho is "they"? It seems a little extreme to blame 75k plus federal employees for government actions of decades past.
- ty6853 2y agoThey as in a number of federal employees responsible, often hated. I don't blame all of them, but the feds themselves set the standard of blaming the whole organization for violence eg rico act. It is hard to blame haters when they apply the principles used by government to prosecute them.
- psunavy03 2y agoUhh . . . what? The entire point of RICO is to prosecute organizations that are literally arranged for criminal purposes. It was designed to go after the mafia dons who gave the orders to kill people and do gangland stuff, but then had a bunch of henchmen to do the dirty work.
- ty6853 2y agoThere's not just RICO, conspiracy and stuff like felony murder all put the whole organization who make violence happen on the chopping block. Of course this organizational blame is enough to put citizens in a cage but by God the citizens ought not hate government employees for their organizations use of a little extrajudicial violence.
