Out among all the blame, the shocked and justifiable horror, and all the agonizing, moot cries of "How did this happen!", the one thing I am not seeing, nor have ever seen in regards to the rise and ascendency of Trumpica, is anyone taking responsibility.
And so I have decided to step up.
It is not in my usual nature to take on such a great burden or to shoulder so disproportionate a culpability. But I understand now that my angry demands that somewhere among the powerful, among those very many who benefit and thrive, there be people who bear the guilt of this great fall in the standard of our country, will not be answered. And so, without recourse, I alone assume the liability.
I am sorry.
This is my fault.
Millions of people will suffer from this dark and twisted worming spiral into Trumpica. And while, of course, the people who have sought this, sold it, fought for it, and voted it in, bear the ultimate responsibility for it, among those said to fight against it there must be some blame to assign as well, some door to mark with the failure of this resistance.
I am this door.
I alone have failed this fight.
I take all accountability and all the debt of this loss. For this you have my deepest, heartfelt apology. I have let everyone down. I should have done better.
And should you wander now from this tiniest of places on the Internet into the vast arenas where voices are shouting out the blame, do not hesitate to stand and clear your throat, and sadly say:
"No. It was clerkmanifesto who did this.
And he's really sorry."
For so it is.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
