I am so PISSED!

We live in a country where the minority party is in power (POTUS, SCOTUS, and Senate, and technically they have a state majority in the house) because they play dirty where as the majority party has been outplayed for the last 30 years.

The Republicans always have been. The Republicans adopted a win at all cost mentality in the 1960s and went into hyperdrive in the 1990s. They are remaking the country in their own image. They will never stop.

I am going to break something if Biden wins and we retake the Senate and there is a bunch of hand holding and talking about working together. The Republicans will just bide their time until they are in power again and push the country even further to the right.

It is like a one way ratchet strap. When they are in power they push the country one or two clicks to the right. When they Democrats are in power they maintain the status quo. Then back to them in power and couple more clicks. Slowly the country keeps going one way and one way only.

When republicons are the majority they get whatever they want and can't be stopped. When democrats are the majority, they let republicons block and weaken everything.

When one side plays by the rules and the other side exploits the rules. . .
