Since the Left does and feels the exact same things when they are in power, it is safe to assume that party politics is a form of bread and circuses to keep the stupid entertained - and critical observers had best ignore the performers and keep their eyes on what the ringmasters are doing.
The founders assumed people in power would abuse that power without structured legal limitations on their power.
Both Republicans and Democrats have exceeded the power of the constitution and both parties have abused Americans because they were disloyal to the constitution.
The left/right stuff is nonsense when it comes to using and abusing power these days. I don’t know what has happened to the courts who were supposed to enforce the limits of the constitution upon Washington, but we may as well stop pretending, lay them off and save the money.
