    At this point there will be nothing left of the government. It will have to be built from the ground up. Maybe this time we can each the rich and outlaw bribary properly.

      That’s sort of the point. But those pulling the strings want to rebuild American government as they envision, not what was working.

        More like, “Why did the Dems run interference for Republicans for 50+ years running?”. If you think our problem with Democrats is that they weren’t “good enough” then you have fundamentally misunderstood the arguments.
