Should Gridlock be something to be concerned about, or used to our advantage?
Mr. Constitution says it is a natural byproduct of the United States operating as a republic.

Gridlock is desperately needed, since neither party can be trusted with total power.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we'd have had gridlock for the past two years if Donald Trump hadn't thrown both 2020 Georgia Senate runoffs to the Democrats. I've never understood why Trumpies weren't outraged at their leader for that betrayal. I guess one has to be completely de-addled to recognize anything that inconveniently obvious. A $4 trillion stagflationary lesson is an awfully step price to pay to stubbornly keep the cult blinders welded in place.
It is ironic indeed, though, that said betrayal has proven, through the typical authoritarian overreaching in which Dems always engage after winning national elections, to be the one thing that has saved the GOP from Whiggish oblivion. Now if they can just not re-re-nominate 78-year-old You Know Who (whether he's in prison or not) and go with 46-year-old Other You Know Who (the age difference alone could be all that's necessary), the GOP might actually have a shot at re-taking the White House.
But given how obnoxiously theyh're likely to run the House for the next two years, they'll probably cough that back up to "Team Blue".
At least blessed gridlock will continue.
