The place hasn't lost its mind.
The paradigms are shifting from Globalists First to America First. Trump was the first, of hopefully many, that will put American Government back to work for American citizens and American interests.
Democracy is a messy, free-form process which is why the impatient, the intolerant, and those ignorant of history gravitate towards authoritarianism and revolutionary doctrines.
It was a mistake of the Congress to abuse the Reconciliation Process to foist Obamacare unto Americans without debate and amendment for the sake of expediency.
It is a mistake of the Senate to require 60 vote supermajority for anything the does not Constitutionally require a supermajority.
It was a mistake of the US Senate to abandon the talking filibuster. For all its controversial history and its imperfection, it did force debate, compromise, and amendment to legislation, which is sorely lacking now.
American Constitututional Federal Republicanism is imperfect. It is an experiment of distributed powers to prevent absolute monarchism, or its 21st Century equivalents.
It is not democracy that is failing. It is the over-concetration of power in Washington, DC, among Speakers of the House, Majority Leaders of the Senate, the US Supreme Court Justices, Presidents, and party National Committees that is failing the American people.
Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, and Kevin McCarthy are preventing the Congress from fulfilling the Founders' purpose of authoring publicly deliberated legislation. Both sides craft "frameworks" behind closed doors and ask our Representatives and Senators to vote upon legislation that hasn't even been written. Presidential Executive Orders and Supreme Court Rulings fill the legislative voids created by our broken Congress.
Much as God used the Great Flood to wash evil from this World to start anew, American voters need to call upon an Electoral Flood to wash our failing representatives from power. It's also imperative that grass-roots, rank-and-file party members take back their parties from failing National Committees.
