It's not even about "trying to find common ground" here, the Republican Congressmen are just full of obstructionists. Remember, Mitch McConnell once filibustered a proposal he made himself (about the debt ceiling) because Democrats voted almost unanimously for it. But hey, the government's super-partisan now, and I don't know why I keep expecting that to change any time soon. And the Dems are for sure not gonna respond in kind, especially with the continuing "when they go low, we go high" shtick that's backfired on them multiple times -- there was a fire at a North Carolina GOP office and Dems made a successful GoFundMe to fix it. The GOP responded with the ever-so-loving gesture of stripping away some of their governor's powers because a Democrat's about to replace him. And that's just one example of shady tactics they've pulled off in recent memory.
But I'm rambling again.

Giving my own answer here: How Stuff Works has a bunch of cool podcast series -- I've been binging Stuff You Missed in History Class over the last month and it's pretty fascinating.Mahogany wrote:

It's usually something I find ridiculous on Twitter that sparks it, or if it isn't one single incident, then it's usually my general impressions on what I've been seeing on my feed over a few weeks. It's also only happened when I'm feeling particularly bitchy in real life (no surprise there).Kisses wrote:

Bad English by me but too lazy to reword it
