Wow, am I depressed. I thought the election was the bottom of my unhappiness, but so many of the results in this ask america poll are even more disheartening. Significant majorities actually believe the Dems are more partisan, that is doesn't matter whether Dems or Rep are in power for the economy, that war til victory, even where there is no likelihood is basically hooray, that the tea party is here to stay. I could go on, but you should see for yourself. Much is contradictory - majorities for a trade war with China but against government protecting workers and jobs, majorities for civility but against compromise. There does appear to be a green streak still alive and homophobia is definitely on the decline. People believe the immigrants as bogeyman and this notion that they broke the law so no quarter. And nothing seems to be informed by events, facts or history.
