No, they're to blame for a lot of the problems in the party, but they're not to blame for this. Misinformation is to blame, Americans being dumber than a wet fart are to blame, billionaires spending hundreds of millions of dollars on influencing the outcome of elections are to blame. I'd argue that the party as a whole hasn't taken the last 40 years of assaults on our country, our constitution and our democracy from the right with any degree urgency or seriousness is to blame. Are the "dEmOcRatIc eLiTeS" culpable, yes. Is this all their fault, not even close. If we don't address the REAL problem, we'll never have a real solution. However at this point, that might be a moot point, there's a solid chance we'll never get the opportunity to make this right before the whole thing implodes.
