The story of American political discourse today can be boiled down to the Democrats shouting that Trump is a Russian agent, and the Republicans are shouting that Obama “wiretapped” Trump. Oh, and then there is the Obamacare reversal that went nowhere.
No matter if Trump is a Russian stooge, or if Obama did order surveillance on Trump, both side will only believe what they initially believed, no matter the proof.
The thing is that neither the Republicans nor Democrats will win the argument. The only thing that matters right now is who can scream the loudest, which annoys everyone in the middle. The middle is like a child dealing with their parents nasty divorce, they’ll all end up with a mild case of PTSD.
As for Obamacare, someone recently said that benefits have never been taken away once they were given, and the Republicans are starting to prove why. The conservatives want to go back to what we had before, or worse, and the moderates want to keep the finer points of Obamacare. Which means that nothing will be done. Take a look at the NHS in the UK (universal health care), once it was established the conservatives weren’t able to get rid of it. The same will probably happen here. Obama should have pushed for universal care.
Oh, and Jim Comey is a bitch who thinks he’s as cool as J. Edgar Hoover. I have a feeling he’ll regret his political machinations. (I could be wrong, but he’s pissed everyone off at one point or another, and he’s still a bitch.)
