The election
I have some hopes, but I'm too cynical to think a miracle has taken place. I still remember the Class of '94, and how solidly they fell off the wagon.
"...blame them on the guys in charge rather than the guys that were in charge when they were created."
Yeah, that's the story the Democrats have been riding for the past two years, and there's no sign they're going to stop. Unfortunately, in that two years they have made everything they "inherited" worse.
But this election was not about a situation, but a specific set of ideas, a set of ideas that has wrecked every nation, state, and city that have consistently adopted them. The Democrats do NOT want to go there. They can't.
