The Congo.. is that your standard of comparisson for Democrats? Now you're getting weird. Its not Republicans vs Democrat, its especially not one side winning with slogans about rule of law or morals.

What's kept America strong over so many years is the often clumsy process of consensus. That's difficult to understand when issues and side taking raises everyone's boiling point.

Consensus is structurally derived from having separation of powers, so that no one stays on top too long. The founders rightly judged that power corrupts no matter which side is in power, no matter the level of righteousness or deceit. The evolution of this republic has been to periodically deconstruct and reconstruct itself, only to deconstruct again while maintaining order.

Little party quips like the Dems do this, or the Reps do that litter the history of American politics like betting stubs at a race track.
