A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    what explains the past two years?

    Democrats got back in on a mandate from the people.

    yet nothing has changed.

    it lends credence to the assertions of many, including me, that indeed this nation is being run by one party with two factions rather than by two true parties. Worse yet, the two factions are in conspiratorial agreement on the direction this country should continue heading.

    so, of course, the nation's ills make sense if and when the two faction government seeks to collapse the financial system so as to implement iron fisted rule over the people.

    this is the explanation I think fits closest to answering the virtual silence of the democrats when it comes to addressing the issues the people want addressed.

    from that perspective (seeking collapse of the system so as to institute a new order) this government is remarkably successful.

    Do others have a more compelling scenario that explains all this inaction the past two years?
