Well, that is just it.

They are not personally responsible. They figure they bear no responsibility at all.

That needs to change, if we are going to correct things moving forward. There needs to be a constant narrative about the fact that those people who were waving trump flags and yelling out of truck windows while they 'roll coal' are responsible and need to be held to some kind of account.

I am not sure what that accounting should be, but I am sure it has to happen, otherwise there will be no credibility in our government at all.
