The replies have, for the most part, been expressions of anger directed toward Republicans, and attempts to assign blame for the mess we're in. Reacting with outrage and denials of responsibility is escalation, it makes the problem worse, not better. The question is whether we can de-escalate and how, if it's even possible.
Not only did Republicans tear this country apart on purpose for political gain, they continue to do so. Furthermore, we spent eight years under Obama trying to reach across the aisle and we saw what happened. The only solution is for the Republicans to stop tearing this country apart and that's not going to happen.
The Republicans can no longer be bargained with or reasoned with. The only hope is that the Republicans can be utterly crushed by peaceful means. That's the cold, harsh reality we face.
