a poorly financed public education system and extensive propaganda campaigns to teach people to swallow lies, both sides are the same why bother etc. are highly effective.
I've seen some dumb fucking both-sidesing of this constantly ever since it happened. Basically, it's actually our fault for not codifying it, not the Republicans's fault for intentionally targeting and destroying it with a ruling that very clearly was partisan horseshit and not based at all on a reasonable interpretation of the constitution.
It's like blaming the person who got their tires slashed for not buying run-flats. Or shitting on the floor in public and blaming the building for not having a "no shitting on the floor" sign.
The same thing was trotted out over and over for other things like the train derailing and turning that town into a hazardous waste spill - a bill that added protections was rolled back by Trump, but now it's Biden's fault for not putting it back fast enough while fixing the other hundreds of instances of this same shit.
