      Well, it doesn’t help that a big faction of one of the two major parties, the republicans, fundamentally doesn’t believe in government or democracy. They do not want a government that provides services to the public.

      It’s only when Republicans control the House and Democrats control the Whitehouse.

      At least, it was. Now the Republicans can’t even help but sabotage themselves.
