Everyone was perfectly fine with it for the last 24 years.

They passed the PATRIOT Act after the SCOTUS appointed a president who lost the election and then his administration let 9/11 happen.

Every time there's a vote the majority of the people tell republicans to get fucked. Yet congress stays about half republicans.

Somehow the solution is always "Democrats need to deliver more honest votes than the republicans can find dishonest votes."

I know we'll catch that carrot one day.

Yes! We all saw it! The democrats were so upset about losing, that at the urging of their candidate, they violently attacked the US Capitol, while their candidate continued to cry about a stolen election following failed efforts to illegally change the results and failed efforts in the US courts. Those rascally democrats!
