Just watch them do a full archeological expedition to excavate the word “bipartisan” and then watch them cherish it as the treasure most sacred to our failing democracy.
Suddenly they won’t do things because they’ll be worried about what the right thinks. They’ll throw their arms in the air when the but think of the possibility of not having getting the votes in congress. They’ll tell us they tried nothing to revert our wealth inequality madness and say they are all out of ideas. They’ll claim that the poor being absolutely miserable and their conditions worsening is the American way and the debt is too big to do anything about it. Suddenly a balanced budget will be back on the menu with a whif of austerity hanging in the air.
We’ve been there before.
