The blame game

Here's something I get a lot from people that I know who are in the maga community in general …. it's that they want to blame everyone else for the world's problems. It's not about anything that's happening with the guy that you love but with everyone else. 

My favorite is blaming the previous administration or blaming some billionaire who has nothing to do with anything. The two favorites go-to guys who everyone seems to point to or George Soros and Bill Gates. 

Why those two? I really don't know, but they come up all the time. Never mind that the guy who is sitting in the White House and basically running the country is a billionaire who is destroying from within. Nope gotta blame some other billionaires because they're bad people in their mind. 

Never mind that George Soros has literally nothing to do with anything related to politics. He contributes and he does have some political action committees that he's involved with and of course he wants things to go his way, but he has no real relation to anything really in government. 

Bill Gates started the Gates foundation that help communities and with food, water, and vaccines and generally ensuring that people have a better way in life … but now he's a bad guy. 

So anyway, in reading through comments on the bottom of different posts, it's sometimes amusing to see the nonsense that people post. It's like a guilty pleasure of mine that I'll read through them just to see what people think because you know you're gonna get some reasonable opinions and then you're gonna get the people who are just nuts and want to say something from an uninformed position 

My example came about when I was reading more on how small farmers are being impacted. someone wrote a diatribe - a thesis if you will -  about how Bill Gates is ultimately irresponsible for all of this because Bill Gates had bought some farms and therefore he's part of the problem, not part of the solution and it's his fault that the prices are going up and it's his fault that the farmers are going out of business 

I'm reading and I'm thinking myself wow how basically ridiculous is that?  When you look at the facts of the matter you realize there's something going on, but then you have this weird point of view that makes no sense and blames Bill Gates for a problem that was created by large corporations by billionaires in different places. 

Corporations and politicians who didn't care about everyday people, and T-rump who lied to them and told him he would and then told them no it's not my fault that this happened … it's someone else's fault!

There's just something so crazy about all of this that we can't seem to control and it really bugs me that we're at this point.
