Politics seems to me to be partially like bad amateur community theater, and structured like team sports. Coaches, players and fans. People tend to root for their team whether they're performing ok or horribly. Tribal politics.
The issue concerning election integrity has been going on for some time even prior to this culminating in a grotesque ugly outcome. There is nothing wrong with the system. But innuendo can be a powerful tool in the hands of political actors. All they have to do is repeat it over and over. No proof needed. It's the seed of doubt that can blossom into the weed of hypocrisy.
I've learned to become more self critical of my team. I wish the league were larger. But that is our stilted system. By choice. The two teams who when it comes down to brass tacks, act as one with the singular aspect of our lives that evades all the culture war talking points that the political actors use. Which is the structure of our economy and the way it is run.
If the greater percentage of people could thrive economically in our democracy. The rest of this culture war crap could be dealt with more civilly. And unhinged demagoguery candidates would never make it to primary runoffs.
