yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

It’s so maddening to see that since Trump got away with the “fake news” con, he’s tripling down on just making shit up.
-Ukraine started the war
-Musk isn’t part of DOGE
-Spending appropriated money on things he doesn’t like becomes “fraud” (it’s not)
Where’s the press pushing back on this?

They shut down their own app for a day, then turned it back on thanking Trump. What an obvious scam this was. Disgusting on the part of the Tik Tok owners, Trump, and all his sycophants who reversed their positions on it one second after he did for no reason other than he did.
