The OP is mostly correct – we got here the consequence of Trump and the GOP.

We also got here the consequence of the fear, ignorance, and stupidity, the racism, bigotry, and hate of the voters.

It was the voters who put a fascist thug, authoritarian despot, criminal, and convicted felon in the WH.

And it’s the fault of the voters that innocent American citizens are held in a Florida concentration camp and a convicted sex offender is transferred to a minimum security day camp.
