"Democrats must stop me before I do it again. They are to blame for the situation we are in."
This seems to be the perspective from a lot of the media and many never-Trumpers?
They are angry that Democrats did not fight harder to keep them from threatening our country and making fools of themselves.
Blame the Democrats for not warning them about not drinking the kool-aid?
Let's talk about the old conservative value of "responsibility". If you f'd up and voted for a fascist, it is your fault, not the Democrats' fault. If you want someone to blame, look in the mirror.
Own it.

Kamala Harris warns against 2nd Donald Trump presidency
And back in 2016, they were warned repeatedly but refused to listen:

But hey, patriarchal societies bullies don't vote for intelligent and competent women.

(51,554 posts)why not punish Republicans? There are elections this year in some states. There are lobbyists who can influence legislation. There are lawmakers who could provide some checks and balances if they wanted to.
So what is the point of punishing the minority party? It sounds like another way to continue benefitting Republicans.

(115,637 posts)But many complain that the Democrats are not doing enough. They could campaign against Republicans if they really wanted to do something productive.

(6,670 posts)* or voting "uncommitted" or any other variation of third-party voting which always ALWAYS helps the Republicans. And then they "blame Democrats" for being imperfect (but who's perfect anyway?) Still an imperfect Democrat (even someone like Joe Machin... with all his flaws... was always better than ANY Republican). I'll never forgive (nor forget) those who claim to be progressive but who did their level best to sabotage Hillary... and then Biden, and then Harris... knowing that it would benefit Trump. It wasn't about the purity and their hopes for a better future... it was always about themselves. It was virtue signaling at its very worst. Even today.. after everything... NONE of those (supposed) progressives have ever apologized or taken responsibility for their treachery and betrayal. NT, SS, RT, JS, CW, RN, BM, CU, JS, BJG, and every other hater (along with their supporters and defenders) who pushed their anti-Democrat BS agenda... they can all go fuck themselves!!
