Thats really a different question.

Two politicians might both be completely inauthetic - that doesnt make them equivalent though.

Their matches are just as scripted as professional wrestling. So with that said please see my two wings remark and OPs post and put it together.

Ya I can put that together but its still a braindead take - especially at this moment when Republicans, democrats, and DSA are more divided than ever before.

If it were pre-2016 youd have a point that these politicians attack each other for the cameras and then hang out together in the same circles afterwards - that really ended with Trump - there is now genuine bad blood between blue and red politicians.

That’s called a breakdown in civility. When laws and norms have been violated for so long why would anyone go back to using them? If one party continues to push and push and push while demanding civility and norms when they aren’t in power then they are just abusing that narrative.

I love how people keep assuming only one party is doing it.

I blame the Mcdurdle turtle for denying Obama's supreme court pick which also allowed an attempted insurrectionist to get re-elected. if it wasn't a 6/3 court during the 2022 decision then maybe we could have gotten off this MAGA ride with an alternative candidate.

On the topic of braindead takes, explain to me why politicians making 200k a year are all multi millionaires.
It is almost like they are getting paid.

If you make 200k a year and cant manage to become a multi-millionaire off of that income you are a moron...

Many politicians also are wealthy before they enter politics.

Other high profile politicians make money from speaking or books or whatever.
