Right? It's like when people get angry at the police for not trying to stop crime, they should be directing their anger at the criminals.

Yeah, I get it, the police not doing their jobs is bad too, I just feel like I see more people expressing anger at Democrats' ineptitude, and reporting on "the administration" rather than seeing specific anger directed specifically about Republicans. I'll sometimes see that directed at Republicans in comments, but I feel I see more memes and posts about how Democrats suck, how trump and his cronies suck, but not a lot about how Republicans suck.

Luke with your metaphor, it's like there's a slasher killing people in the street and more people are mad at police not doing anything effective than saying the killer is bad.

If we've got to stop the killer ourselves, then what difference does the cop make?

I'm not saying not to complain about Democrats, I'm just saying I don't see people ragging on Republicans as much as they are ragging on Democrats. And some of the same people saying that we need a united front and not to divide the opposition.
