Tyranny of the Minority

we have experienced it for several years.
A significant number of Americans feel that government doesn't work because well, the minority party has used rules put in place to prevent a tyranny from the majority to obstruct and obfuscate.
People that don't pay close enough attention know that there is a problem. They aren't concerned or curious enough to investigate WHAT the problem is.
Less than 25% of eligible voters in this country have chosen a path of what very well could be irreversible destruction.
Those 25% are GLEEFUL at what trump is doing. He is "shaking it up"....refusing to follow rules....these are mostly people who wish they had the gonads to do this themselves.
This is the "Take This Job and Shove It" crowd. And now THEY have a leader who is going to do what they all wish they could do.
They are smart enough to know when you tell your boss to shove it, they will become unemployed. They just aren't smart enough to know what happens when you tear down a government.
