    Because it’s far harder to build than to destroy. That’s the simple answer.

    Democrats actually want to govern. They might be fucking stupid sometimes, but they (generally, obv there are exceptions) want the US to be successful in the long run. And because of that, they’re beholden to mores that the Trump side could not care less about.

      The lack of punishment for not wanting to actually govern, and instead abuse power, is the frustrating part. The illusion of checks and balances is broken and I am not sure we will get to learn from this and rebuild.
