Republicans, of course, for their evilness
Democrats, for being pathetically timid and afraid to proudly stand up for their beliefs since at least the Clinton years
The low information and/or short attention span / short term memory / easily misled and brainwashable American voter

There are multiple parties responsible thus for this. You can't have evil winning without gullible subjects and the good people not being as vigorous and passionate about their beliefs as the evil people are. Of course, this doesn't take into account that the Democratic party may be timid and not as powerful because many are also in the back pocket of corporations, which goes to show that there also needs to be an invasion of the party itself by good people.
