I actually consider it typical and to be expected in a developed first world nation for the status quo to be rather good in the grand scheme of things. The consequence is that the threat of other side's proposed changes to the status are perceived as a bigger than the marginal benefit that would come from one's own ideas and policies.



If we quantified it, it would basically go like this:
The current status of life in the country, of its freedom, prosperity, safety, opportunity and so on, has a score of 100. Giving the other side the power to enact their full agenda would decrease the score to 80, having the power to enact one's own full agenda would bring the score up to 110. Minus 20 versus plus 10 or so.

In such a situation, it is imho perfectly normal for negative partisanship and gridlock to prevail over optimism and bipartisanship.

true the democrats got comic relief in the form of throwing perpetual stones at a woopy cushion or punching bag named D L Trump.

Quite literally the media was guilty of inciting violence against a president, it only matters because its the democrats who have the key to microwave weaponry. DL Trump was smart enough to make his palm beach mansion exempt from mandatory 5g however.

Too bad there was collateral damage from microwaving the republicans out of the white house in the form of Joe biden's brain freezes. Ice cream cones & all, etc.

they wont talk about it because they are afraid of havana syndrome aka c19.
