Over the last day or two I’ve been struck by an inescapable conclusion:
We are living in a WWE presidency and yet the Democrats keep complaining to the referees.
Even as the press tentatively becomes more comfortable with using the word “lie” to, well, describe outright lies, we keep hearing about how Trump continues violating “the Norms” of politics.
Just as wrestling was never anything more than theater, and the referee a handy foil for the crowd that hated “cheating”, so is today’s GOP a corrupt body utterly dismissive of any bounds of fair play, not to mention the law.
If the Democrats are serious about taking down the whole corrupt enterprise that is today’s GOP, they need to abandon the niceties of past political process. Get in the ring, swing some chairs, jump off the top rope...
It makes no sense to play by the rules when the opposition is completely free to act unbounded by them.
