I'm surprised that you're surprised.
I’m still always surprised how many in Congress absolutely HATE the USA, work against its interests and just plain want it destroyed. I’m naive that way.
I guess I’m also surprised that Democrats could completely FAKE loving American for decades until it became fashionable to outright HATE America and they all let their masks drop at once.
For what it’s worth, I enjoy the 1939 Jimmy Stewart version of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and the Boy Rangers.
