The logic that says, "vote = culpability" is the lie that evangelicals have been telling Black Christians for decades, and last week the chickens came home to roost.
Simply voting for Trump doesn't make a Christian anymore culpable for last week's events than voting democrat makes a Christian culpable for abortions in America.
Culpability requires more than just voting — it requires inappropriate allegiance, blind loyalty and denial, and the justification of or participation in wicked acts to retain power and comfort. Culpability requires direct or indirect compromise.
Christian unity sometimes requires a sacrificial living that embraces this tension, not tribalism that seeks comfort by demanding others conform to your views.
Show me a Christian that can't live with tension or hates nuance and I'll show you someone who is well on their way to either heterodoxy or heteropraxy.
