We live in times of complete Obstructist republicans who act in what is hailed as conservative values, who are only concern with the status quo of the wealthy and their corporations, who have bought and paid for them wholesale!
The republicans are almost solely responsible for the wholesale rollback, dismantling and destruction of our
safeguards and protections granted through our Bill of Rights, Our Constitution, Laws, Regulations, and Rules afforded us to us within the Last 243 years as a nation!
We are witnessing full blown corruption and criminal malfeasance at our expense!
Yes, our government was not working, you can trace so much of it lately by the Obstructist republicans, which now support trump who was elected because too too many were completely fed up with those in power, so they were willing to do anything to change the governmental process!
The basic problem they elected those who profit off obstructing those whom elected them.
Hence while the wealthy and their corporations have profited immensely from those who elected them and us we are still in basically in the same or worst economic standards we were in before the election of 2016.
