The 2nd 4 years...it was like he just said "FUCK IT" , there's no negotiating with these guys. He practically gave up and just started doing sht on his own....Veto'ing stuff , freeing prisoners , and telling Democratic leadership to not even bother introducing new bills to congress...because Republicans are in their own world.
But when does this cycle ever end? when does the reset button ever get pressed and listened to? THAT's why I was encouraged when Trump won the election. Because we allllll fuckin know Hillary would of just brought in 8 more years of corruption. Her and Bill already fullfilled the majority of their hit list.
ANOTHER reason why I was glad when Trump won. As the atmosphere truly felt like that on election day. 8 years ago, the Democrats were the weak, poor people looking in....now we've become the overzealous , overconfident , overcorrupt bunch. And it truly probably IS the reason why Trump won.... (others noticed the same that we did)

The cycle ends when Democrats block and stall everything so Trump/Republicans can do nothing and are forced to come to the table. Republicans hold all 3 offices so it's not Democrats time to bend the knee to try and work with Republicans. It's Republicans time to try to work with Democrats.
The deal is, I've seen many Democrats who have openly stated they are not apposed to working with Republicans, but Republicans have made no moves to work with Democrats. There is zero reason for Democrats to sit idly by and allow Republicans to do what they want. This is not a dictator ship and our country is not ruled by a single party.
This will continue until Republicans start coming back to the table and work for the good of the country. The sad part is it will only get worse. Democrats will now get just as outrageous as Republicans have been because they are forced into that role by Republicans who think Democracy is their way 100% of the time.
The simple fact is Republicans for the last 8 years have acted like this country is ruled by 1 party. They have completely ignored the will of the people and only serve what their party masters want. Democrats can not allow this, because it's extremely dangerous for that kind of attitude with someone as egotistic as Trump in the WH. That's how dictatorships happen.
