Yes. Let's blame Trump and the GOP, who undoubtedly shares blame in this fiasco, but why bother singling them out when the Democrats and their privacy-invading leaders are just as bad? Why can't we work together to solve the problem that both parties are causing? We all agree the government overreach of the past few decades is too much. Why do we have to blame "the other party" ensuring that half the people who would help us will not? It seems to me everyone is bleating about how terrible the other guys are, then turning around and trying to grab as much power as they can for themselves, ignoring what that means in the next election cycle, in case the other guys come into power.

Because take a look at the list of senators and representatives from a verge article. See if you can find a single Democrat's name in there. https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/29/15100620/congress-fcc-isp-web-browsing-privacy-fire-sale https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/29/15100620/congress-fcc-isp... The continuous false equivalences between the actions of the two parts in the US is terrible. It's getting to be in the same category as the "both sides of the story" on climate change. During the 90s and earlier sure. But starting around the mid 2000s and only increasing since there has been a drastic split between the actions and behaviors of each party.
