Why? Do you really believe the R-team is going to do anything? What did the R-team do during the first two years of the Trump's first term? Oh yeah, nothing but obstruct him. Name one thing the R-team has done to limit government, reign in spending, abide the Constitution? God I am so sick of this back and forth between the two major political parties while purposefully ignoring the fact that BOTH parties don't do anything but grow the size of government, grow the debt, fund the wars, and let the illegals continue to pilfer the American taxpayer wealth.

Kinda sums it all up, eh?

Wonderful summary of the basic problems.

Are we finally shifting to a point of progress?

That has to be so subjective but such a part of life.

Are we shifting to a point of progress? Maybe. As the older Boomer generation starts to die off in multitudes it will behoove the younger generations to come in and solve the problem. Doesn't bode well for my General X.

I would love to see Americans cast off the fucking two party mentality. Hell, I wish they would read George Washington's farewell address (if they could understand it, he uses strange words and is hard to understand) and cast off all allegiance to any political party. Political parties become a person's tribe and tribalism is almost impossible to cure. Evidence is "oustider's" comment above. Even after all these years of being stabbed in the back by the Republican filth there are still many millions that think the Republicans are the answer to the Democrat cancer.

I woke up a long time ago. I guess to each his own.

Washington's farewell is definitely worth reading. If nothing else it codifies the thought process at that time, which is invaluable.

or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation."
