More to come... high level is that our national politics are nearly dysfunctional. Republicans and Democrats are both to blame. Both parties are more motivated by power than issues or the welfare of our nation. Unfortunately, the Republican party has become increasingly irresponsible, corrupt and evil over time. As of 2023 I do not believe the "both sides" argument works anymore. For the sake of all Americans, I hope to see a deep and repetitive defeat of Republicans at each election cycle until the party purges itself of candidates and elected officials who are willing to undermine democracy and truth for power.
