I think at some point we need to step away from politics and the normal bantering we enjoy and engage in here and look at the processes and results we have in place. At some point in 2016 i liked that Trump presented himself as a guy who would buck the status quo and supported him. My wife and i both agreed that if Biden had entered the race at that time and won we would not have been too upset because he is a moderate at best an ineffective leader incapable of making a strong argument for his agenda and would not be disruptive to the conservative cause. 4 years later we see a senile old man clearly losing his mental faculties and we see am extreme liberal support system waiting to take advantage of the mental cripple he has become and we wanted no part of him. Not because of anything he would have done but because of the the liberal lunatics that would demand their agenda be implemented. At this point the House appears to be have been weakened on the DNC side and is not as much of a threat. the Senate remains with a slight Repub advantage and also no threat. Nothing will get done for the next two years and in todays world that is the best any of us regardless of political affiliation can hope for.
So politics is realistically at a point where no action and a government system that does nothing is in actuality the most effective form of government we could hope for .
if for instance one side or the other had dominated and implemented their policy without any input from the opposing side then in all actuality the end result would have been that the opposition would have worked tirelessly to undermine those partisan efforts.
much as has happened with Obamacare. No republican input was sought since the dems had a super majority and thus republicans have worked tirelessly to dismantle that policy since their input was never sought.
So here we are at a point where we root for government stalemates. Biden promises to join the country and represent us all but the cabinet he will select will say otherwise.
all of us regardless of political affilation are expected to be outraged at all times by the efforts by the other side when reality states that our form of government accomplishes nothing , achives nothing and is often engaged in nothing other than outrage rhetoric.
the true answer is we are all
ed up and we root for governmental chaos because that chaos is the most effective form of government available in todays world.
