Navel gazing is a luxury we do not have. Post mortems, any and all of the theories about why the downticked Democratic candidates won when it is perfectly likely that a lot of people just didn't want to vote for the top of the ticket, but didn't want the insanity of the downticket GOP candidates. If you REALLY want to focus on things we all should, listen to the Kash Patel interviews. Listen to Michael Flynn. Listen to RFK, Jr. Talk to the federal employees who are deleting their social media pages (probably too late, given the watchlists already developed in anticipation of the disloyalty purge. Ask senior citizens and the disabled what they will do without Medicaid/Medicare. These are not aspirational goals of the upcoming administration. These are front and center promises and they have attempted to tear things down for decades. SCOTUS ain't gonna help us either.
My fear is that we are preparing for a heavy rain with localized flooding while we ignore the Cat V hurricane that has been forming for a long, long time.
I understand and appreciate that. I'm just concerned, especially after listening to Kash Patel's promise to go after journalists, lawyers and judges using the power of the newly minted CIA.
No prob. Mine would almost qualify as a GOP response, except it was too wordy for their slogan-driven politics. Our slogan, as the party that knows government has to function as something besides an outlet for grievance, should be Shit That Works. Blue hat with white letters, STW. I'd smile every time I saw it in the grocery store.

I'll focus on what I want to. But thanks anyway.
