we have endured/allowed ourselves to become mired in is an incredibly intense firestorm of "obstructive fingerpointing and scapegoating."

Back in the sixties, we used to joke that just because you are paranoid does not mean there aren't people coming to get you. Even earlier than that, when we were kids, my little sister would every so often get caught beating up (not necessarily physically) our younger brother, but she always wanted our parents to be even handed in handing out punishment.
