It sure would be nice if both political parties got the message. I think that to voters, it's personal. It's our neighborhoods, our financial security, our schools, our futures, our jobs that are being destroyed. I suspect there's a "Ferguson Effect". Except for people in gated communities and other high-end enclaves separated from us little folk, we all depend on law and order in our communities. Republican governors seem to be better at that when communities need help, and they did real well.
It's about US. If either political party actually starts representing people, they'll emerge from this mess, winning elections. Look at the US Senators who won. (ex: Ernst, Cotton, Sasse, even Perdue) They seem to be about making the US a better place, not about enriching their buddies.
