I think the real problem is that many have lost faith in our government. I also think that the problem is in "our government". With all the hate and sides and winning and losing, etc. I believe that our government has turned into "THEIR government". Voters have all taken sides and seem to have forgotten that "OUR GOVERNMENT" means we are responsible for what we have. Biden hasn't helped with one mess after another coupled with constant promises of this and that that may, or may not, happen. Now add on the constant whining about "their government" from folks like Fox News and we get what we have right now. These days its all those others who are responsible for what we have rather than the voters. The voters are no longer voters but members of one of the sides instead. Its really very very strange. Oh, the regular news channels have taken on going beatings.
I think the middle just wants a gov that functions well and does its job. Neither side, as far as I can tell, have left anybody with that feeling. Without it we are loose and getting buffered by the winds of incompetence, baloney and disaster.
We seem to have two sides and, if you are not a member of one of the sides/parties then what you have to deal with is one side who actually has problems with much of reality and the other side which seems more interested in hammering each other. I am also sure that neither side sees it that way. I also suspect that it may have a lot to do with who is responsible for what and nobody seems to have raised their hands on that one so far. Hopefully the Dems are going to start tooting their own horn, stop promising ANYTHING! and start doing things and then announcing what they have done. I think that's starting but we will see if they can overcome the public internal bickering and start speaking with one voice about what they have done so far that works and is good.
I am, incidentally, very good at wishful thinking (in case you haven't noticed)
