You are correct.
There is more than enough blame to go around and it extends across the aisle.
Democrats are evil and mean no good but republicans lost their way, and before winning again need to really decide a set of core principles , and need to be able to articulate them. The R party has once again become the party of “dems are more socialist than us” , just like 1990.
Borrowing massive amounts of money for a few tax cuts(and lots of spending) is just politics and disaster.
