There’s a ludicrous double standard, where Dems actively refuse to hold Republicans accountable to the same standard they hold themselves to, for fear of looking partisan. But their efforts to look nonpartisan end up operating as unilateral disarmament in face of GOP corruption.
Sure, the 20 insurrectionists just want to watch the world burn. But McCarthy would rather be King of the ashes then cut a deal with Democrats and create a governing coalition.
Focusing on the one crazy people problem and not the deeper GOP establishment problem is a mistake.
