When voters put Obama into the White House in 2008, Republicans set out to make sure they couldn’t govern. Mitch McConnell (R–KY) became Senate minority leader in 2007 and, using the filibuster, stopped most Democratic measures by requiring 60 votes to move anything to a vote.

In 2010 the Supreme Court handed down the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, declaring that corporations and other outside groups could spend as much money as they wanted on elections. Citizens United increased Republican seats in legislative bodies, and in the 2010 midterm elections, Republicans packed state legislatures with their own candidates in time to be in charge of redistricting their states after the 2010 census. Republicans controlled the key states of Florida, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Ohio, and Michigan, as well as other, smaller states, and after the election, they used precise computer models to win previously Democratic House seats.

In the 2012 election, Democrats won the White House decisively, the Senate easily, and a majority of 1.4 million votes for House candidates. Yet Republicans came away with a thirty-three-seat majority in the House of Representatives. And then, with the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, making it harder to protect Democratic voters.

As the Republicans skewed the mechanics of government to favor themselves, their candidates no longer had to worry they would lose general elections but did have to worry about losing primaries to more extreme challengers. So they swung farther and farther to the right, demonizing the Democrats until finally those who remain Republicans have given up on democracy altogether.

The state of politics in the US where everyone is mad and crazy is optional. All we have to do to be rid of it is not vote for it. And I think a lot of former republicans would like to return to a more civilized time.

Coddle spoil overprotect overindulge or protect from consequences, even when she is wrong in every context.

It's good and sweet to a extent some of this but the key word in coddling is that it's overdone.

Imagine some scenario in which you know your ex’s lucky numbers and where they keep their tickets. You also still have a key or some other form of access to their place.
Obviously they’re a horrible person, or you’d still be together. So they owe you that money, right? Ell oh ell!
It’s enough money to know that you’ll never have to worry about money again. You wouldn’t even have to work if you didn’t want to. Would you steal a winning lottery ticket from your ex?
