Has America Finally Begun to Despise BOTH Parties?

Has America Finally Begun to Despise BOTH Parties?: "Why would Democrats and Republicans share that aim?  Perhaps it’s because they both read the following that was written by H.L. Menken:

The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are.

Thinking for ourselves is absolutely terrifying to professional politicians of either party.  Thinking for ourselves, we will (if we haven’t already) discover that the current government, under the Democrats OR the Republicans is one that actually is dishonest, insane and intolerable.  It seems that the discontent has already arrived.  And the demands for change to that government have already started.

Anything that might change the power structure is bound to be fought by both Democrats and Republicans, using any sleazy, underhanded and destructive means that can be concocted.

Is there anything else that needs to be seen to understand why BOTH political parties are despised?
