Approval ratings for congress are habitually low. They always have been. There are a couple years, 2001-2002, that were high, but overall, their approval ratings are usually embarrassingly low. The data here only goes back to 1974, but it's not a stretch to say that it's always this way.  So, here is what confuses me. Across the board, Americans agree that our congress is inept. Leftwingers, rightwingers, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, or moderates. The common ground is that we think they are incompetent. Yet, there is such a divide in the country, though we all agree that the government is incompetent, no matter what year it is.  What exactly are we all fighting about? https://www.thoughtco.com/congress-appr ... ry-3368257

Everyone loves their representatives and think the other States representatives suck. It's tribalism.

I don't think so. Many states (obviously not all, like California or Texas) have a population with a good percentage of each party. The people within each state fight each other based on political orientation.

True but their state wide popularity is generally much higher than they are nationwide. Obviously they are popular in their own districts.

I don't know if we can use that as an accurate metric. When polls are taken, the question is congress as a whole, not individual representatives. We would have to compare between results of the state poll about a particular represent vs a poll from the country, as a whole, about the same representative.

What is likely the first senate in human history was instituted by Romulus in Ancient Rome.  Those senators tended to be decrepit old men, corrupt, who sought favor with the Roman emperor (and also the pope, later on) more than they served constituents.

The U.S. senate, and congress, are the spiritual successors to the ancient version, and like them, our current critters have no power and are merely seeking to gain prestige and and status by *** kissing those with real power (the Jewish bankers, various oligarchs who run industry, and the president to a lesser degree).

Yeah the funny thing is they vote for republicans thinking they will change. Then after years of Republican rule in the Congress and Whitehouse they hate it even more. 

You can't fix stupid. 
 

The republicans ran the Senate and the house from 2010 to 2018 and got nothing done.

And in Trump first two years Americans handed over the house to the democrats and things got better.

Congress does what they were elected to do socially, keep reality in charge of evolving forward now. That riddle you this is simple compounding results don't function as intellectually designed to rule the definitions of tomorrow's people today.

Life is like money from investments, it exponentially doubles in time each compounding cycle as developed in rule of 72. DNA does the same but inversely.

I think everyone knows the take a penny a day and double the sum each day and in the month of February one becomes multi-millionaire, and that is a 3 year standard 28 days. Then comes 29 day every 4 years except the 400th year like that of 2000. Check the date the Gregorian calendar came into effect.

Anyway, the universe pulsates by expanding details never duplicated balanced with contracting results never the same spontaneously happening simultaneously here by yet another compounding series parallel events. Magnetism push/pull, electromagnetism pull/push, molecular chemical periodic table combines three types of matter that crated 119 discovered natural occurring elements atoms became when joined into forms shaping the universe here.

Action and reaction are equal, so for every expanding detail comes a contracting result. like every conception of another ancestor is tied with a departing part of ancestry. Again, all this works in series parallel cycles with common event horizons be it inorganic snowflakes or ancestral homo sapiens all going on in the space between erosion and decomposition.

Perpetual motion limited to a universe perpetually balancing between extreme thresholds is what does exist when occupying time inhabiting space between erosion and decomposing as elements are induced in separate forms inorganically and ancestrally never the same details compounded as arrived before.

See I explained kinetic eternity with eternal separation of what does exist here now. Isn't anymore complicated than this, until a species ancestrally pretends it isn't what it is as kinetically going forward now.

Power of choice vs power of suggesting real cannot be limiting life to eternally separated now? How humanity corrupted every generation playing vernacular tribalism.

Lifelesson most never accept because all they are allowed to know is maybe it isn't. Ironic reality is undeniable truths, actual life is socially question everything self evident.

Guess why humans are so self destructive socially? ^^^^^^^
