> No, just no. We need accountability and responsibility. Every single Republican that is actually responsible needs to be holding their fellow Republicans to account for the lies they spread.

Let's say you're right. How do you plan to do that without "finding solutions and plans that can include everyone from all political spectrums"? How are you going to get some Republicans to hold other Republicans accountable if you haven't found a solution that includes that first subset of Republicans? I suppose you could aim for autocratic top down governmental control, but I think if you look around at the current state of the US government you might see some flaws with that plan.

It's easy to be frustrated and angry and rant at people. It's easy to dismiss them and write them off as not worth the effort. But in the end, the question to have to ask yourself is whether it's more important to be right and that other people do things for the right reasons, or more important to accomplish your goal, and other people do the right things even if its not for the right reason.
