It presents a slight problem when the ones they're bringing in to deal with the shitty politicians are the people who paid them to be shitty in the first place.

It wasn't exactly Bipartisan, it was every single Democrat and also 11 Republicans.

That is widely recognized as when Republicans went off the deep end.

Obviously it wasn't an overnight switch, although my phrasing is more often used for a sudden change, it was a gradual one over decades so I should have used something else.

But Democrats being better than Republicans on average for decades doesn't mean every Democrat is good now. And every Republican being shit now doesn't mean that was always the case.
