> Everyone in the United States is complicit to the horrible things done by the Trump administration by your logic.

This is a ridiculous strawman. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume ignorance instead of malice.

I wrote that going above and beyond to curry favor with an autocrat in order to protect your profits is collaboration.

And you read, what? Existing under a government means you necessarily support it because there was an election? You do understand an election means some people voted the other way, right?

Not an ounce of self reflection in this comment.

He's not an autocrat precisely because there was an election. He won the election because he got the most votes. He has since failed to do most things he campaigned on because his power is very limited by virtue of our government's structure.
