Now is the time for any decent GOP in Congress to switch parties and take away the free pass

Take away the free pass for Putin and Trump to continue to destroy our country. I would only take about four decent GOP men or women to nip these brazen acts of terror by switching parties. The terrorists only continue their terror acts because they know they will receive cover from the GOP and Trump and his yelling, screaming rally followers. It doesn't seem that anything will change the brain-washed, low-intelligence mobs attending these hateful rallies. So it is up to people on both sides of the political spectrum to take matters into their own hands.

Help law enforcement find and punish the culprits no matter who they are. Trump is responsible no matter which side is out there using these bombs. Trump has either emboldened them to do so, or frightened the opposition to use extreme methods to fight them.

November 6 will not do enough to stop this madness. It's going to take some acts of courage on the part of a few GOP to stop it now. Four Senators would do it. They can change back in 2020.

current GOP party switching sides. The few who occasionally pop up as rational (Flake, Collins, Corker, etc.) always end up voting party line so I don't consider them reliable even if the country is at stake.

There isn't a single one who has put Country before party.

I don't expect any of them to follow your advice.
