There are some people getting all twitterpated over movement among the blathering idiots and sociopaths in The Swamp. I cannot share their enthusiasm.
Two pithy sayings come to mind:

Left wing and right wing are both parts of the same bird.
The DC Swamp’s main and only industry is graft, corruption and power. If you are hoping someone there will ride in on a white charger, wearing his shining armor and save you, I have a super good deal for you on ocean front property in Montana. No. Not even THAT GUY is going to save a lethargic, ignorant public.
This story has been played out thousands of times in several centuries of recorded history. The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire[ was a book written in 1776. Our story and dozens if not hundreds of others look just like that one.
We have been groomed to be soft on purpose. Those who would lord over us underestimated the indomitable human spirit (I hope). Regardless, we are in theater for a really interesting show.
