Pretty clear to me that even if there was some "both sides", the GOP is more in degree & scale.

Maybe, but I don't even mean it as praise or disdain for either side. I am also not limiting it to the political realm but since this is a more political thread I will stay there.

Without going on and on, here is the short version. I believe that Americans are trusting less and less in the Constitution and the government structure it defines to give them the country they want to live in and seem more inclined to prefer an all powerful "monarch" who can provide their preferred country with a royal edict than our current lawmaking process.
