Many Americans just want help. They neither understand the politics of it nor have any desire to do so. They don't read the news the way we do - I mean, I'm obsessed with news to the point where I don't read for pleasure anymore. However, I think most Americans are not that way at all. All they see is that they need help and no one is helping them. Washington is the bogeyman because to a starving person, what's the difference between a Republican saying "I won't do anything" and a Democrat saying "What can I do." The starved person still gets nothing.

Reagan planted a seed when he visited Bitburg Cemetery in 1985. It’s clearly harvest time. The Big Lie then was that the visit was a benign message of understanding and forgiveness to Germany. In truth it was the Mother of Dogwhistles to American racists. Today’s big lie is that Senate Republicans are principled administrators terrorized by Trump. In truth he fashioned his persona to feed their deepest desires, which are antithetical to democracy.
