That's as much "evidence" for your original "two sides" theory as it is for my "witch in the Moon" theory.
Also you've moved the goalposts to a self-fullfilling and generic to the point of uselessness statement "people should have done more to defeat Donald and the GOP".
That's like saying that "all drivers in car crashes should have done more not to crash their cars".
Well, true, but also about as worthless as "insights" go as "the sky is blue".
Also by blaming people you're implying that "the system works and is fair" hence the fault is entirelly of people who have full agency and control. I'm afraid that things like the partisan support in the US for Genocide or the extreme level of police violence show that "people" don't really have full agency or even much control - in fact I could spend the whole day listing how most people don't really have much in the way of control of how the US is managed, though granted those wo do have most of the control are people (unless one subscribes to the theory that the ultra-rich are lizard-men).
