> A plurality of Americans voted for Trump, but not all of even that percentage actually support or desire what is happening now.

> Most Americans are not in favor of this, so saying that "America is doing this to itself" rather than "this is happening to America" feels like it ignores all those people who very much do not want this.

But it's cathartic for Trump's political opponents to blame Americans, so they do so. IIRC, they're still less popular than Trump.

They felt entitled to win since they think he is bad. Instead of blaming others they really need to spend their time figuring out why they lost to someone so flawed, and make the difficult (including ideological) changes to fix their electoral issues. Especially since last time they seemed to genuinely believe he was dangerous, but refused to pull their heads out of their asses to respond to that danger.
