The part of Charlie’s Morning Shots that needs more attention:

“How big a deal is the coup really? Is it a big enough deal to root for the Administration not to fail? (And, yes, there is a very real distinction between “supporting” everything in the Biden agenda, and urging/nagging/rooting for him not to screw the pooch.)”

Charlie when you get to this discussion on the main podcast, as you do often, it seems like you start falling into an old pattern. Aren’t we all rooting for the [Biden] Administration not to fail? I know when you’ve hit that groove because invariably you end with “Hey, I never promised anyone a safe space. The Bulwark is not a safe space.” I would love to hear/read more about what exactly you mean by this.

OH YEAH JOE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, PLEASE DO NOT FAIL!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

I would have thought this part is a no-brainer for sane Republicans. People say, about everything, “it’s not a zero-sum game.” This time, it IS a zero-sum game. If Biden fails, the idiots take over. I would love to hear you talk about what that would look like if it came to pass. What would actually happen. It’s kind of a shortcut for you to just reference the movie Idiocracy. People need to have a specific mental image of exactly what would happen the moment insurrectionists win. Is there hand-to-hand combat? Do we revert into 50 Divided States? We can’t really decide who we’re rooting for to not screw the pooch until we have a clear understanding of what would happen next.
