That blame falls squarely on the conservatives/republicans/libertarians. They created the no-compromise, social activist environment we have now. They are the ones trying to dismantle parts of the Constitution they don't like. They are the ones involved in voter-suppression. Liberals may have shown hatred toward W. Bush for his role in creating the Iraq war, but since the beginning of the United States, we have never seen such extreme levels of ignorance, suppression, vile hatred, sexism, bigotry, and racism, as we have from the right-wing for the last 34 years.
If you read all of my post, you would have seen that I did not blame only politicians. They set the stage, but the worst always comes from those that follow them and their enablers, like media pundits.
