I've found these words to work best - for young AND old:

This was never going to be easy. No political revolution ever progresses in a straight line. The American system – the Constitution itself – strongly agitates against rapid, radical political change of any kind.

In the first two years of the Barack Obama Administration, Americans saw rapid, radical political change and rebelled against it, turning the House over to Republicans in 2010 and then the Senate in 2014. Americans again saw rapid over the past two years, as President Donald Trump reversed about 90% of the Obama era from the history books, and reacted last night by turning the House back to the Democrats.

This is not only nothing out of the ordinary, it is exactly how the nation’s founders consciously wanted the system to work. No one on either side has to like it, but it is important to recognize this reality of the American system and work to affect change within its confines.(emphasis added)

I'd rather have this system of checks and balances that gave us this midterm result BUT also Trump AND also the 2012 midterm result, versus a removal of these checks and Madame President Clinton.

NO it is NOT

Founders were worried about a PARTY system developing
Washington warned against it
