"...they've been much more willing to use extreme measures to get what they want." That's true. And a big part of that, in my opinion, revolves around Citizens United and the end of the Fairness Doctrine. The GOP has been able to 'sell' a message to the people that bares little resemblance to their real agenda. I think that's why so many freak out when the "real Americans" draw their line in the sand. They've chosen to go all in with those who don't have their best interests at heart. It's frustrating to watch people kiss the hand that beats them.

@Ynotisay You are correct of course. But on the other side. (What passes for a left in the US) There are those who also operate well outside the spirit of the law, taking money for favors and governing for the benefit of donors.. If both sides were not guilty, then the voters would not have been so keen to embrace Trump just because he promised something different.. He is a symptom. Not the core problem. The core problem is the money rigging the system. On both sides.

@whowasthatmaskedman I agree...to a point. Citizens United was fought against tooth and nail by the Democrats. There's a reason for that. Sorry but there's no equivalency between the two parties when it comes to donors and expectations.
