I think the chief blame of an evil act lies with the person doing that act. Obviously the DNC is culpable for the genocide they helped commit. In terms of Trump, though, the DNC is just emblematic of the failures that rendered us unwilling to stop him. I think there’s a difference in them holding the blame on this particular issue vs them deserving our resentment on it. I don’t resent Trump in the same way that I don’t resent the sun for burning me when I stay out too long. He said what he was going to do and now he’s doing it. I resent the company that sold me faulty sunscreen, took away my shade, and told me to be grateful for the privilege.
