Read about the Shame Punishment of the Pilgrims. They didn't play around. You had to work for the good of the village or it would suffer destruction and no one would eat during the winter. Any behavior against the good of the town was scrutinized for crimes, and offenders would receive severe punishment.
Yet people today apologize for the lowly behavior of Republican leaders-- from the illegal lobbyists, sedition, to pedophiles, to genocide, to unjust wars, to wiretapping, torture camps and the destruction of the US economy so their friends could make money. Republicans get to talk to Americans as if they were toddlers needing instruction, and they take no feedback.
If America were a Pilgrim town, it would not survive the winter.
Shouldn't all citizens pull together to highlight these crimes of this Republican leadership, and punish the offenders instead attacking opponents, sweeping everything under the rug and blaming Democrats, "liberals" and teenagers?
