The people with Trumpgret didn't get there by people telling them they fucked up. These people don't value your opinion so telling them they're wrong is fulfilling your own needs, not anyone else's.

It was a system of checks and balances, but the Democrats went along with consolidating power. So while yes, they aren't the direct cause, they were the adults in the room and they failed in that responsibility.
