Have Americans all become doomers?

It feels like democrats always think we're doing badly when republicans are in charge. Republicans always think we're doing badly when democrats are in charge. And independents just think things are going badly all the time no matter who is in charge.

I remember the days when I thought shifting control between Republicans and Democrats every so often was a good thing.

That thinking ceased for me after 2016 when I saw the GOP collapse as a legitimate political party and become overrun entirely by shameless grifters and con artists.

So you settled for the shameless and lifelong grifter and con artist who's currently in office. 🙄
And brain-dead to boot. 🙄 🙄

And a party that uses him for the same purposes, as well as for the more sinister purpose of gaining absolute political power. 🙄 🙄 🙄

@Thinkerbell of course she does. They HATE this country and they are overjoyed that this sinister, sleazy, suckass shitbag is destroying it

@Thinkerbell Even with the GOP practically tripping over itself, the Democrats couldn't do absolute power if they wanted to, which I don't believe most of them do. Hell, I don't think even most Republicans want that, despite the fact that the lunatics are in charge.

Oh, the Democrats want to, very badly.
But you may be right that they are too incompetent to succeed.
