Agreed, except for in the only place that really matters - because it has lifetime terms and determines how all law is interpreted by the courts - the supreme court.
I say this is the only place that matters because laws passed by congress can easily be undone by the next congress, however a two thirds majority is needed to make constitutional amendments (and other major changes) - so in other words, it all just swings back and forth between Super Shit (R's) and Shit Lite (D's), and the only time who's in charge is very important is when there's supreme court nominations up - because they can set the course for the country for 40 years.
And Trump nominated four of them.
