We still elect the lawmakers. We swallow all the shiny bait during campaigns, then let them off the hook and re-elect. I blame myself, my neighbors and every American who voted. “They” only have power when “we” are split.

In Florida, where I frequent their bodegas and the like, thats not the impression I get. And I tend to repel a lot of people.

I read all that. A fine detailed mind. But the short version is, it’s the Democrats fault.
Hostile media effect
In 1982, the second major study of this phenomenon was undertaken;[2] pro-Palestinian students and pro-Israeli students at Stanford University were shown the same news filmstrips pertaining to the then-recent Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinian refugees by Christian Lebanese militia fighters abetted by the Israeli army in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War. On a number of objective measures, both sides found that these identical news clips were slanted in favor of the other side. Pro-Israeli students reported seeing more anti-Israel references and fewer favorable references to Israel in the news report and pro-Palestinian students reported seeing more anti-Palestinian references, and so on. Both sides said a neutral observer would have a more negative view of their side from viewing the clips, and that the media would have excused the other side where it blamed their side.
