Blaming is not the right course. Look at corporate greed and the cadence of money printing. I remember Greenspan being awestruck by the cadence. I likened it to a tempo, too quick to collectively follow. Without distributing blame, let's say these two factors, which fed off each other, needed to be better regulated. For the sake of a better culture

Perhaps this isn’t what you intended, but my take on this opinion piece is that you are blaming the other team (the bad one) while also acknowledging that the good team (your team) isn’t without a bit of blame too. As my wife would say, (sarcastically) "that is mighty white of you."

As someone who is disgusted with both teams, I think you are right that democracy is at risk. In my interpretation, one party has gone off the rails, backing a Machiavellian, reality TV blowhard, while the other party has gone full Monty for the secular religion of wokeness, which has completely infiltrated the media, the schools, the colleges and the human resource departments of every major corporation. It will soon no longer be possible to get an education or job without professing belief in progressive ideology.

This does not end well.

My recommendations are that we either quickly take a step back (or at least rebuild from the ashes) by restricting the zero sum roles of government to the bare minimum. In addition, we should guarantee separation of church and state specifically to include secular religions like progressivism.
