Yet there's nothing wrong with partisanship or ideology- it is the necessary element of a functioning democracy (to the surprise of the Founders). I have ideas about the way the country should be run and you have different ideas. Maybe there's a compromise or maybe not- that can only be determined through debate and at the ballot box. I find it unbelievable that you seem to suggest that people who oppose this policies of this President are inventing their grievances out of whole cloth. Considering the time you spend attacking their world view it should be apparent that they don't suffer 'derangement' but just view the country's problems quite differently. (FWIW, the BDS argument is a transparently desperate tactic to change the subject from the embodiment of the failures of conservative policy. Do you really expect the President's political opponents to not mention his name ) I’m sympathetic to the sentiment of allowing a democratically elected leader a chance to lead- I certainly don’t want to head back to governmental paralysis via the investigation of dubious ‘scandals’.
