Are we gonna blame the average Russian for Putin? Blame the average Chinese person for Xi Jingping?
trump only got “elected” because the Citizen’s United ruling that allowed the rich to spend unlimited money to buy propaganda to push their agenda. So we are blaming "Americans’ as a whole? The average American is an underpaid worker who barely have any time to understand politics, and is stuggling to survive in ultra-corporatist oligarchic capitalism. This shouldn’t be a European vs American thing. Its always been the 99% of us, worldwide, vs the 1% rich that controls the world.

I don’t know about the Chinese, but for russia yeah they’re all for the war and only complains when they are somehow affected by it. The usa-ians? Yeah that too, he didn’t win with 20 votes but tens of millions. Who is responsible in a democracy according to you?

If it were 100% a democracy, then sure, you can blame the majority of the people. But is the US really democratic. Sure there are elections, but are elections really free and fair. The rich can just spend unlimited amount of money to spread lies to people, can you really blame the people for not knowing better? If the people doesn’t have easy access to unbiased information, and the most prominent news are constantly blaming democrats, and sane-washing trump, portrays his neo-fascist policies as somehow even comparible to the democratic status quo, that’s not really a true democracy, at best its a hybrid regime with with somewhat democratic features.
