In all my adult life, some 30 years, the Republicans have NEVER pulled "too much or for too long".

NEVER. And it it is about time they did.

I'd have to disagree. I'm a moderate, and I'll have to say that never in my 51 years of living can I recall a more contentious, hateful election as the one just passed. The whole process felt torturous to me, and I am profoundly relieved that it is finally over.

From my point of view, both parties are guilty of shameful acts of divisiveness. With every politically motivated shot fired, no matter which party fired it, the pull was extreme, or at least that's how I experienced it. It's all spin spin spin - being disingenuous is the status quo of politics today - keep 'em in the dark and feed 'em BS until they don't know what to believe.

My only comfort is that saying that goes, "Democracy is the worst system of government in the world - except for all those other systems."
