This is a situation very similar to the one that led to the great catastrophe of WWI when none of the people who produced it thought a catastrophe possible.

Most intelligent people, whether or not they know anything about top level politics, feel uneasy about the long run political gridlock that has led to this political crisis we face and the rage of the mad ones “managing” the crisis at the top.

I still think they will “muddle through” this latest time of gridlock, crisis and rage and go on to the next, worse one not far down our horrendously crooked road full of pot holes and swamps and fires.
