Count me among the 41%. The more corrupt government becomes, the more I’m for stopping legislation.

Voters chose to send very flimsy majorities to this Congress, on both sides of the aisle. Assume gridlock is what the voters really wanted. Thin in the Senate, thin in the House and stuck with a dementia front for the failed Obama administration in the WH. Not the proper ingredients for much of anything.
You don’t get action until voters demonstrate they mean it, want it, and will have the back of any group of legislators that can deliver it. Whom we elect are not responsible for out-adulting the voters. But rather reflect instead the lack of meaningful mandate from the voters.
Not fair to knee-cap Congress with such paltry voter support, and then claim they are not doing anything. Voters, you are the ones not doing anything. So just chill and take things step by step until you find a direction you really want to go, by far more than one or two vote majorities.
Politics follows culture and we have a lot of Stockholm Syndrome going on in this country today. Easy to whine; much harder to stand up and get what you want.
