Divided We Fall

I wish I could feel optimistic about this last election. I think the idea of divided government is hypothetically good. It keeps one side from pushing through a whole bunch of policies that may not be good for the country.
However, in our current political climate, where compromising with the other side brings you the label "traitor," I'm afraid that having a divided government just means that even less is going to be accomplished. Two years from now, both sides are going to be pointing accross the aisle and saying, "All our problems are THEIR fault! They said they'd fix it and they DIDN'T! And they're friends with CHILD MOLESTERS!"
I'm in a bad mood.
