This isn't surprising. I stopped bitching about obstruction a few years back (minus the SCOTUS appointment, because that was bullshit) because it's just going to be the norm for years. The ideology of both parties is shifting to the poles. The mean ideology of each side in Congress is as close, if not closer, to the extreme than it is to the centrist line. 15-20 years ago those means were closer to each other than they were to the extremes.
This is going to be the way our federal political landscape is for years until we get tired of it and vote people into office that will actually be compromising.
