Ah, politics.........................

 

A whopping 63 percent of voters have a negative view of the Democrats, according to a Wall Street Journal poll, which adds that it’s the lowest rating in 35 years. . . .

It’s not good: We need two equally hated parties to better ensure eternal gridlock and no Big Ideas. We need to not be sure whether this guy is a Republican or a Democrat and really, does it even matter? We need two different, identical groups of oligarchs fighting over America so that neither ever fully wins (except me, your favorite oligarch, who is beneficent). Because right now, all Republicans are doing is winning, and the center is shifting so fast that Nick Fuentes is starting to be just a normal guy raising a few interesting points.

Good gridlock...................


". . . and if that gridlock can force the real work of governance back to state and local governments, then gridlock can be healthy."
