Our representative republic isn't all that much different from the

And who's fault is that?

Sorry, but neither party has a shred of moral credibility anymore; and
the more that each side insists its the One True Political Faith and
the other side is a bunch clueless and devious idiots the farther from
moral credibility each side moves.

I would posit that we deserve what we get.
