Is your issue with Republicans or the form of government and checks and balances in that government?

I’m talking about the real world impact of this situation, wherein the organization of our republic and its demographic disbursement have created conditions in which a minority party can effectively hold the Senate while openly using its power to circumvent any.....any......checks on the president. Specifically, on his ability to weaponize the government against his domestic enemies. Where a minority of citizens inundated with propaganda can effectively empower a party which chooses not to adhere to those constructs of the republic that become inconvenient for it.

And I’m not talking about it to argue an issue or register a complaint. I’m summarizing the situation that we find ourselves in, and I’m wondering what happens next.

Yep. Put it on the American people in November, there isn't an established pattern of fucking with elections going on in our country or anything. Not to mention the message this is all sending God King is to go ahead and really unshackle himself, go full dictator.
