Damn. That's bad. I think it'd make more sense to single out the people causing problems and making the dumb decisions.
Lumping people into groups based on their political party feels rash, since on both sides there are good people who you could reasonably trust to do their jobs and make the country better.
The shotgun approach makes a bunch of noise and confuses anyone trying to figure out what's going on.
At any point, Republicans could step up and stop any or all of this. It would take very few of them, and if there are good Republicans, as you say, then how many of them are there?
They could, but that requires coordination and greater operational awareness / intelligence.
You could tip them or give them something actionable/understandable. I'm going to make an assumption that you've worked or met someone irl, whose worked in a corp/company before. The government is similar but bigger and more rigid.
I haven't bothered counting. You could do that if you wanted to, for whatever side you prefer to observe/analyze.
Most of the good/relatable are lower-ranking, which is a pro/con depending on your perspective.
Wild shit.... Just wow.
