And shame on all those people letting it happen.
You cannot shame American citizens who have already willingly chosen to abdicate their responsibility to democratic principles.
They've already crossed that Rubicon. They have chosen to separate themselves from the social agreement that that the Founding Fathers hashed out hundreds of years ago.

America's history is rife with stories similar to this, from its earliest days. And in every story, there are instances where other American citizens looked on... but didn't step up.
"Evil flourishes when good people do nothing."
Which makes me ask: "If they did nothing, were they actually
good people at all?"
