It isn't an individual failure when nearly every individual with power to act failed so miserably.

Brazil managed to prosecute Bolsonaro for trying to do his own J6 just fine. The only thing that stopped Garland was unwritten norms & decorum.
Saying individuals will always fail completely ignores all that.
That's institutional level failure through & through.
There’s a very battered spouse dynamic with Democrats where we’re always jumping to blame & berate ourselves for the acts of our abusers, the GOP.
