this doesn't change the fact that no one stopped it. this entails that everyone allowed it (some even encouraged it, as you pointed out).
That is putting a whole lot of responsibility on a people who never actually had control over government and elections, and it ignores the blatent media manipulation and information war that's been waged against U.S. citizens for decades.
you don't need to control the government or elections to disallow the election. I am not taking any blame from the media, either. I am just being a bit pedantic about the term "allow". for comparison, when someone accuses me of leaving the lights on, I point out that they left them on too, as did the neighbors, police, and president.
when something is undone, it's because no one did it. everyone didn't do it.
