Under Republicans the American government has become a reality show. Sell your soul to win. Compare it to The Bachelor. Actual life is secondary to the show. Weddings occur at the end, not that it’s required but everyone understands the dramatic necessity. I don’t know their demographic but I bet the show is very popular among those who believe in the “sanctity of marriage.” Contestants can sleep together and hardly know one another but in some weird way the forms are observed.
Similarly with our government which, by the way, has the power to destroy the world in an instant. (To show their restraint they are doing it slowly.) Winning is the only thing that matters among Republicans. That and putting on a show, a whole lot of low drama. Masses must be entertained. Reality, the life and death-matter of running the country, is an afterthought. It’s not quite Jerry Springer yet but we’re trending there with concerns of dick size in debates. What will it be next?
