Between Regan wrecking the USA's mental health care system & Trump encouraging violence & conspiracy theories, this is all on the GOP.
The Democrats certainly have their share of the blame to bear. They never did anything to really oppose them fundamentally. To this day they'd rather make a deal with the Republicans (where they are always on the losing end) than do anything that might be seen as promoting progressive causes in the US.
Reagan ended federal funding for state psychiatric institutions and then was almost assassinated by a schizophrenic. Didn't change his mind after that though, why?
Because the man was an idiot.
"bUt mY bOth sIdEs!!"
Some of yall will do any gymnastics you need to shoehorn in "Dems too!"
Nah bro this is on the GOP, these are their followers, they're the stochastic terrorists.
I also can't stand when GOP is in control of one of the houses and people "why isn't Biden getting anything done!!" Take a damn 101 class already. Then they complain about executive orders. The fuck do you want him to do??
You are absolutely correct despite the downvotes.
All it takes is for good people to do nothing.
If the good people are doing nothing or only passively opposed, they aren't good people.
Democrats are complicit in the modern state of society. They had their roles to play in only ever offering paper resistance while occupying the seats where real change could have been pushed for.
Democrats aren't the good guys. They aren't your friends. They are the second and fourth steps of a dance that has us waltzing into facism, and they are responsible for the role they've played.
Should we vote strategically to avoid fascism this year. Fucking obviously. But the principles of bipartisanship and incrementliasm are what brought us to this point. Democrats occupying seats like Pelosis and Feinsteins when we could have real progressives I. those positions. RBJ in her arrogance refusing to allow another justice to be seated. Democratic insistence in decorum while the other side is literally engaged in insurrection.
