The sad truth is that America is collectively getting the government she deserves. I always said that term limits begin at the ballot box - but as we all see - the ballot box is just for show.
Hell, there are plenty of people in VT that love Patrick Leahy - but if you were suggesting term limits for folks like Orrin Hatch or Chuck Grassley, those same voters be amenable to term limits. Conservatives that would like to see Ted Cruz have a long career probably wonder why the voters in San Fransisco keep putting Pelosi back in office.
Dumbed down - people are stupid. Being a good citizen requires a little effort and research and quite frankly most people seem to prefer their news served up with an appropriate hashtag. Its hard to tell where we really jumped the shark because each party has been pointing fingers at the other side for so long - nobody remembers which party "fired the first shot"
Hell, the Hatfields and McCoys kept better records than our politicians do.
