The House is a weird juxtaposition of people who want to do good things vs people who are trash.
That's always been the case and not just in the U.S., although they do provide a particularly loud and colourful drama. Few years before their civil war, a southern congressman nearly killed a northern senator with a cane in the Senate house. Trump would have been right at home there. In the Democratic party, as it was then.
U.S. politics has been like this more often than not.
Can you imagine believing that Trump has the ability to be speaker of the house? 😂
