Let's just say it: The Republicans are the problem

Seriously, they've been spouting such outrageous idiocy for so long and have dragged the political conversation so far from sanity and rationality that, much like a rotted branch laying on some power lines, threatening to both topple the tree and disrupt service, everything will be healthier, safer, and better going forward if we were to simply cut them off and chop them up for firewood.

I may or may not be speaking metaphorically at the last.
