and it has grown so much during my life - from the 80s when there actually was some level of actual journalism to today, where the media has absolutely no desire to call the republicans on anything, at best simply ignores is and most often in fact cheerleads for it.

But, the bigger issue is that we as a country indulge the republicans.

They scream like lunatics about all these perceived or made up grievances from the democratic party, but today can act in the most ludicrously outlandish manner, and the people of this country simply refuse to hold them to any level of accountability for it.

The problem is that while fundamentally they don't reflect were we are in a lot of ways, but their tactics, their dialogue very much is in line with where this country is today.
