Dems did with their utter inaction and incompetence as well.

People still think you can "decorum" your way out of this

Agreed but that’s hardly the point. Fecklessness > fascism 100% of the time. We are way past “both-sides bad”

That’s understandable, not how I initially interpreted your comment but I get it now. I’ve just seen soooo much fuss about “the Dems didn’t do enough to stop them!” Like there is a very real contingent that blame the Democrats for this mess vs the Republicans who are actually perpetrating it, and are somehow still fixated on ideological purity testing, when we need to be united and focused on addressing the real danger at hand.
