Fine statement and analysis.
It is (IMHO) the innate human ability we all have to blame others for our own strifes. To distance ourselves from bad decisions.
That transcends politics, and pushes more into psychology.
I used to be quite a drinker, but what I learned was I always looked for excuses to drink. I am sad, had a bad day at work, old lady is mad at me. etc..Blame blame blame. But not addressing my own weaknesses. Not owning up to my own part in it.
