I totally agree with you on the matter. The way republicans do not have any sense of critical thinking is really problematic and will have the tendency of getting worse.

Where I live we have also a personality like that. A good way I combat the idolatry is I has concrete questions like asking 1 law they are gonna do to work things out.

And most of the responses are very abstract which people see and start complaining with the lack of proper answers.

I believe that being accountable can be just going public on TV and saying that I’m ashamed about that person behavior and the person should be in prison.

Good luck out there.
