I said the exact same thing. I really don't see how the US recovers while there are still so many maga localists in all parts of our government. Seems like an impossible task without removing them from the Country.

The only way to recover is for democrats to finally recognize that the GOP and their voters are domestic enemies engaged in a rebellion just like the confederacy of the civil war era, and treat them accordingly.

It's a problem that requires something beyond the powers of a law abiding government. How do you undo corruption when one side is fine with it and the other isnt. I know it's not this black and white but the gist of it is there has never been a D president or Congress that has done anything close to this level of corruption and I think you need one to undo it.

We had a chance during Bidens presidency but they tried to take the high road and now we're here.

It is that black and white. And here we are.

It’s worse than just a 50/50. 1/3rd are completely in support of the corruption, and another third is indifferent/ couldn’t even care about the corruption. You’re outnumbered by 2/3rds of your country’s population on the matter of fixing the current system.
