My goodness, what a talented writer you are. I really enjoyed this. (I don't enjoy living in this unendingly horrifying timeline, but I do enjoy the good writing coming out of it).
"(A)nd those of us nostalgic for a more innocent, honorable political age need to get over it."
Why should we? There was compromise, bipartisanship, statesmanship, and order. Things actually got done. Responsibility and critical thinking were evident. What we have now is crap and we should not normalize it. In fact, if we want our country to continue, we must not.
While I wavered in my support for Platner for a short time, the age question won me over for him. We do not need rookie senators in their high seventies, we do not need senators at all in their 80s and 90s. Are they all trying to beat Strom Thurmond's record?
For Pete's sake, if the staged assassination had been successful, the new regime leader would now be Grassley at 92! Scary!
