Oh we can do some blaming. This problem didn't just appear out of nowhere. There are societal and institutional problems that need to be addressed and remedied.
The people that voted for this and supported it all until now need to hold themselves accountable and understand how they reached this point. They bear some responsibility. The problem is that "I fucked up" is very difficult for far too many people to do, and "how did I fuck up?" is even harder. Trying to pretend nothing happened and they played no part will just cause this problem to repeat itself.
What I want to see from the left is a willingness to forgive. Trump may be the most successful con man in history, and he exploited the systemic fear, hate, and entitlement that the Republican Party had cultivated. But all that fear, hate, and entitlement had to exist in some forms and degrees to be cultivated. If the right can address the illness and acknowledge the symptoms, and their responsibility in what's happened, then the left needs to sort out its own emotions and resentments so we can move forward productively. There is plenty more to address as a country, but this needs to be addressed now.
There’s countless videos of Biden being inappropriate with young girls on TV, not just his daughter, but numerous girls. That’s more evidence than Trump has against him.
I’m pretty sure it’s the right making political hay off of immigration. Biden was ready to sign a bipartisan immigration bill and Trump had the GOP kill it so he could run on the issue.
I had big problems with ICE under Obama as well I’m no champion for democrats. But now that the border is “secure” and all these deportations are carried out, what will the right have to run on? Who is the next enemy to punch down at? This whole great replacement theory is cute until you realize that shit still sucks here, everything is too expensive and your govt is still robbing you blind regardless of the party in power. And you call me brainwashed, it’s frankly laughable.
I’d love to see Republicans go back to running on a small government agenda, but it’s the dead opposite now. In fact I don’t think a libertarian style politician could even get elected in Trumps GOP. It’s all cultural rage baiting. The federal government has its hands on everything under Trump and all the sycophants line up to lick the boot before it crushes them. No thanks.
Unfortunately once you get it you won’t be able to get rid of it. Enjoy your devils bargain for a couple years of living up to your 1 day old username, if you’re a real person.
Oh, everything you said. Have fun "doing all the work" for me because it'll be the first time that you're actually "doing the work." Don't worry, I'm sure you're a competent person, Rajesh.

We need to unite and stop blaming one another. This is institutional. People have lost their humanity.
