Okay, folks, let’s talk. Let’s have a long, overdue heart-to-heart about… well, Congress. Sometimes, I find myself relaxing with a can of La Croix (I know, it’s a millennial trend!) and watching the news, shaking my head and thinking, ‘Did everyone just forget what matters?’” Forget what? Forget what you signed up for. Forget who you’re supposed to be representing. Forget that you’re not supposed to be running a lifelong, taxpayer-funded social club masquerading as a legislative body. I mean, think back. Way back. Before the cable news cycles, before the Twitter wars, before the echo chambers turned into fortified bunkers. Remember when you decided you wanted to be in Congress? Was it because you thought, “Hey, I’d love to spend my days obstructing progress, scoring cheap political points, and making sure nothing gets done unless it benefits my party’s bottom line”? I highly doubt it. I’m guessing (and hoping!) that maybe, just maybe, you had a glimmer of hope in your heart. Perhaps you wanted to make your community better. Maybe you genuinely believed you could fight for the little guy. Possibly, you envisioned a future where your constituents thrived. So… what happened? Seriously, WHERE DID THAT GO? Somewhere
