8. How exactly would the Republican "shitshow and corruption" not exist without the assistance of Democrats?

Who, when and how? Republicans are extremists, radicals, it's insane chaos now. They need centrists, a status quo, a party platform like a regular political party.

How do Democrats have anything to do with this? How does the word "centrist" somehow explain how it was Democrats' fault? Can anyone give any kind of answer to this?
