Which was a seminal moment in my understanding of just how fucking stupid this country is.

There was the brief reprieve in 06 and 08, backlash from Iraq and Bush II driving the country over the cliff.

But, the last 30 years has been non-stop rightward creep at all levels of government in this country.

AND, to your point, it does not matter what fucked up shit they do, outside of 06 and 08 (and BHO winning re-election), they are NEVER held accountable.
