Pardon me, You seem to have confused me with someone else. My best
recommendation about King George is that he is better than the
alternatives presented. I have *never* been a whole hearted supporter.
I think he is the poster child for why corporate CEO's should not run
government.

The elections will be over, and (hopefully) decided. Then the level of
histrionics can modulate to a lower level.

I don't think things are nearly as bad as you do. That is quite obvious.

Clinton has nothing to do with this. He left a mess for King George to
clean up. King George did so. End of that story.
Regardless what happens at the next election, the democrats do not
represent the majority of people in this country anymore than the
republicans do. Both parties have wandered off into the deep weeds. I
expect a new party to emerge in the next few years. It is barely
possible for the democrats to reinvent themselves, but I doubt it will
happen. If you are fully immersed in the full democrat "Rights" rant,
expect less and less of your political goals to be realized over the
next few decades. That goes for Republicans also.
My sincere advice is to just chill for a bit. It will all be over in
two years. Don't let it eat at you so much. Get involved locally.
Make a difference! Let up on the rant.
