No, people who caused this are the ones who picked Trump for candidate and then voted for him. Conservatives did not had to pick Trump and his fellow travelers, they did. It should not be responsibility of democrats to become moderate republicans. It should be responsibility of moderate republicans to moderate their party. If you are moderate republican who voted Trump because you cant stomach the democrat establishment allows transexuals to transition or whatever, then you are someone who knowingly voted someone who you knew will do exactly what is going on now. There is nothing new or shocking about Trump or conservatives being anti-democratic or breaking the law.
It is absurd that all the bad stuff conservatives do ends up being blamed on left and center. But somehow, when left do something bad, conservatives are never blamed.
> the democrats need to take this as an objective lesson about how badly they failed to represent their constituencies
The elections were quite close. They failed to represent moderate republicans who prefer fascists anyway. They lost in elections. But the constituency voting for Trump was not theirs.
It would be cool if anti-Trump right would stop blaming everyone but themeselves. Especially when those anti-Trump people voted for Trump second time.

I agree, but from where I stand to the left, the Democrats -are- the anti-Trump right.
"It should not be responsibility of democrats to become moderate republicans."
I also agree with this, and I think that they would have won if they had not tried to be come GOP-Lite.

It'd be cool, from my far-left anti-war, pro-LGBTQ+, anti-capitalist position, if the Democrats would "stop blaming everyone but themselves." Especially when they keep losing because they don't run moderate right-wing candidates who don't represent their constituencies- that's explicitly the reason why they lost, not because a lot of folks voted for DT, but because a big chunk of folks realized that they weren't served by voting for Harris.
The Dems didn't have to run Harris. Or they could have setup a platform to appeal to the folks who ultimately didn't trust her.
But they didn't do those things and they lost an election they could have won.
