No way, we the people are NOT responsible for this. This is an abuse of their position.

Not only did "We the People" not stop him, "We the People" reelected him. That makes 'We the People" responsible.

But you are not "We the People", nobody is. The "We the People" allowing the whole fiasco, is the majority.
