Oh boo hoo!  Join the club, buddy.  Democrats never recognized Trump as a legitimate president, instead preferring to spend countless time and energy on investigations re: "Russian interference" that never implicated the president or anyone directly tied to him.  Democrats, including the outgoing president in 2016, took actions to hamstring the incoming Republican administration before it ever got off the ground.  Since then, it's been a constant dribble of unsourced, unverifiable leaks from the mainstream media. What goes around, comes around!

Congressional Republicans "obstructing Biden at every turn" would be a return to the halcyon days of Obama's second term Democrats apparently pine for, based on who they nominated/how they campaigned in 2020.  They campaigned as only a simple repudiation to Trump's character, seeking to press the "rewind" button on his presidency, and fell into base cultural appeals to anti-Trump, educated elites rather than the broad-based economic appeals of FDR and LBJ that served them so well in the 20th century.  The DNC was a parade of John Kasiches and Cindy McCains, with the only mention of the Black and Latino voters coming up in the contexts of #BLM or tired immigration debates.  Their narrow electoral college victory and underperformance downballot are the dividends of this strategy.       

There is no solution to this "problem" because this is how it's always been:  Republicans have always viewed Democrats as a threat, and Democrats have always repaid the favor.  When our political debates become all-encompassing cultural/moral crusades, however, it reaches a new level of existentialism.  Conservatives and liberals alike are responsible for this change in our politics.

There will be no unity until the Bipartisan Cartel is ran out of DC.

Agreed! Cheesy
