3. We can push blames to politicians, but IMO it is our own damn fault

There would be major pushback here regarding terminology and techniques.

For example, if two years ago a post stated “Trump is Putin’s bitch,” there would be a greater than 50 percent chance of a hide.

State all Republicans need to be ostracized, pre Trump would have been another hide, with a ton of responses that we need to find common ground.

We need to own our own unilateral disarmament.
