If that were to happen that would mean the Earth has stopped spinning and the aliens have landed on the White House lawn...:)

I think what is frustrating for many people myself included is that we have no consistency in our legislative process. Some issues should be no brainers, e.g. defense, social security. Yet when the control of Congress changes it’s like we start all over again and have ridiculous fights over issues that many Americans are in support of such as I mentioned above. It’s as if the politicians need to prove they are in power and We the People get ignored yet again.

That is why I think the rise in populism got Trump elected. People wanted a change and that was how they saw a way to maybe make that happen. I’m not gonna re-fight what happened during those 4 years but we are living with the results today.

For those who actually study America’s political history this is not really anything new. It is just more obvious now due to the speed of how information, both true and untrue, is spread. We see in real time events as they occur in high definition...warts and all..:)

You are right. But I am happy to be informed.And warts....never bothered me much.

Populism also rose because people became informed which is why the left has moved to control 100% of the media and all social platforms.

We are still beating them. And they know it.
