Good luck with that. The republicans have held control of house and/or senate with a majority or supermajority in 18 of the last 20 years. That's republicans in control of the budget 18 of the last 20 years. The reason democrat presidents look a lot like republicans at the end of their term is they had republican congress to deal with almost the entire time. But keep on shitting on the democrats as if they are the same thing.

I don't think I am triggered, or even upset. If I am bothered at all, it's that these Trump electors have cucked themselves over super hard with a political party (GOP) that is injuring America with tax breaks for the rich from the Bush era, deficit financing for the last 7 years under a GOP super majority congress that extended the bush era tax cuts and didn't pass a single budget and now a healthcare bill that isn't even a healthcare bill, its just tax cuts for the rich and looser regulation on the health insurance companies so that they can offer less coverage - there isn't even anything in the bill about cross state competition... and I wouldn't care so much if it was just these cuckbois cuking themselves... but these idiots are dragging the majority of America (who didn't even vote clown) down with them. for what gain? so they can say "take that libruls" while the country fucking burns? yeah.. good job. way to think that through.

We have a corporate oligarchy today. It is a false equivalency to think that the republican and democratic parties are equally bought off by the corporations or that they are equally corrupt. Congress has been republican controlled for 18 of the last 22 years and the deficit has gotten worse under the budget they have passed in all 18 of those years. Legislation is written for the legislative branch by lobbyists for the corporations. The idea that we should vote in billionaires that own corporations into the executive branch takes a super special kind of stupid. America has reached a new peak in corporate oligarchy, or corporatocracy, and the trumpists are the ones celebrating their new corporate overlords like good little cucks.

These things won't be fixed until we have a constitutional congress to add laws that fix congressional terms, gerrymandering, campaign finance limitations on corporations, and lobbyists being prevented from writing legislation. Unfortunately what we will get instead is covfefe.

Just to clarify - Of the last 22 years the house has been held by republicans for 18 years.

Keep voting for republicans, you'll keep getting republican behavior out of government. Which is what you've gotten for 18 of the last 22 years.

Fox news (and other outlets) will blame it on the president - but its the same people year after year that make government shitty.
