We're living in a worsening Civil War!

This person was very premature in claiming victory for his side(because of closed mindedness which is actually causing the Civil War).  I posted  this article  earlier this year too.

Redistricting Texas 2025                                    

Denying quorum has been a Texas political strategy since 1870

                  

        While the Democrats could technically derail the GOP’s redistricting map, such efforts have been largely symbolic and had limited success blocking past legislation, experts say.

The cold civil war between our 2 parties continues to make our morally bankrupt, self serving, lobby bribe taking, divisive, war mongering, anti humanity, empathy lacking, Americans last politicians look more and more pathetic.

Our ethically bankrupt, bought and paid for (with lobby money) power hungry/desperate, self interest driven, pathologically divisive politicians will do anything for their agenda.

The Rs, with the majority in Congress have decided to give all their power to Trump on many issues in order to maximize his power as he imposes far right agenda on the country and the world.

The current government that is being practiced in the United States is more of a hybrid type of government with elements of democracy, fascism and authoritarianism.

Fortunately, the democracy part that features regular elections has not been interrupted, despite Donald Trump's tremendous effort to  try to overturn the very reliable results of the 2020 election that he lost and still insists, to this day that he won.

Somebody with that history, that we all knew about,  is now back in the White House, so I guess we got what we asked for.  Although most independents were not expecting it to be this bad and this divisive.
