Republicans are moving backwards, Democrats are at worst a holding pattern but usually at least trying to move forward. It's a very important distinction.

We're never going to fix this country at the ballot box, but we can hopefully slow down its decline long enough for organized citizen action to bring about the course corrections our country and culture so badly need.

It's all just theater. They take turns being the bad guy for a cycle, play the part for the money and votes, rinse and repeat. Strangely enough, nothing ever gets reversed when they swap places in the power dynamic. That's because they were all in on it. If it were important, elections WOULD have consequences, but with the sports team mentality they keep the voters in, nothing changes.
