As I listen to people like the comedian George Carlin, who was talking about it before it happened and yet managed to lay it all out for us in advance, I realize that things were always going to head in this direction, and it was never going to be any different.
Therefore, for the sake of our own sanity, I think we need to let that go: it’s never going to happen. The USA might not even survive the decade (imagine Trump winning, but even if he doesn’t, is there any doubt that a GQP member will take the one after that? historically speaking, Dems never win successive elections), and if it does then the Dems will just cite how Congress blocked them at every turn, blaming the other side for why even with a majority they won’t pass any laws related to e.g. school shootings.

Whatever happened in the past, it’s over.
