Clearly by "collaborate and compromise" you actually mean "so long as my side gets their way". This is the negative result of buying into entirely one-sided propaganda - it limits your perspective to, frankly, bullshit. I do not see a point in continuing since you seem unwilling to actually contemplate the entire environment. Not only do you have absolutely no response to obvious intellecual hypocrisy, but you are indeed one of "those" people who links to propaganda to support their deliberately narrow and naïve perspective of the world - and demands others participate in this alternative reality. It's not fun, nor intellectually stimulating to engage in this type of debate.

No, that's actually not what I mean. Note that I'm not taking issue with any GOP policies, because I don't have a problem with GOP policies. I have a problem with stated goals of simply obstructing the people they are supposed to be collaborating with, thus I am directly quoting statements made that explicitly state their goal of obstructing their collaborators. Again, citing someone's own words cannot possibly be considered "propaganda" against them, lol. They said it, and to my knowledge they weren't even held at gunpoint! I mean you haven't even given me an analogous example of the problem I'm pointing out, so I'm not sure what "clear hypocrisy" I'm exhibiting. Give me an example case and I'll tell you what I think and then you can decide whether I'm hypocritical.

  There was oodles of collaboration during the Trump Administration - how did I ever forget how willing to compromise and collaborate Democrats were back then! It was an amazing time for our Congress - so much collaboration was done that we got sick and tired of collaborating!

    So again, since obstructing the opposing administration is "normal," you can find statements declaring such an objective. Right?

  I'm impressed by your efforts to communicate something that is this basic, and yet depressed by how difficult it is! Normalizing this "current" republican position of literally not having policies deserves to be called out.
