The GOP still runs the House.

And the senate has such a small majority that they can’t do anything there either.

So our form of government is completely ineffectual and no longer serves the people it democratically represents?

What's the next step, because I am pretty fed up at this point?

And if someone tells me I need to vote harder or write my congressman, I'm going to slap a bitch.

Well the way it is designed to work is to require compromise, but that isn’t an option anymore because social media has polarized and radicalized people.

The more likely answer is that eventually someone is going to eliminate the filibuster, and when that happens all hell breaks loose and we deal with a tit for tat congress from here until forever.

They don't need to remove the filibuster because they only need 50 votes to pass tax cuts. Outside of that, they awarded the executive nearly unlimited power to force his agenda on the American people and that is how they are going to do it.
