Depends on viewpoint.
The road has finally opened up for more rational thinking people to be able to affect the solutions, as opposed to being stuck on a permanent Fox war-footing.
There is no way for anyone to convince anyone else in this toxic environment, but it is my contention that the extremists have been the damaging elements, and now, hopefully, the Senate, Congress and Presidency can now function without the internal terrorism of the extremists trying to destroy whatever does not prescribe to their narrow sense of right.
IMO, elements like Fox, Norquist and Koch are the problem.
Hopefully they have been effectively neutered for most of the intelligent/educated population.
LOL, where's Bruce, Fox called, they want him back, LOL
