      Republicans aren’t an unstoppable force of nature. Republicans overturned Roe. Republicans have made abortions illegal. That is absolutely the Republicans fault.

      Democrats should’ve done more. They should’ve pushed back harder against the Republicans stealing Garland’s seat, and they should’ve convinced RBG it would be safer for her to retire. I can understand why they didn’t, but that doesn’t change that they should’ve.

      Let me put it this way, if you don’t mind a corny superhero analogy. If innocent people die when villains attack, the heroes did fail to save them, and are responsible for their deaths in a sense. But the villains who actually attacked are far, far more responsible. While chastising the heroes we shouldn’t forget to damn the villains, and prepare for a counterattack.
