"Of course, a clown with a flamethrower still has a flamethrower, but it’s going to be impossible for Americans not to notice the bright red noses and floppy shoes of McCarthy’s new crew."

My fear is that most Americans don't follow politics and won't see any of it for what it is. Unless and until a financial catastrophe results, will they be impacted? Even the most dedicated MAGAts don't like it when the clown show impacts them and their families - until then, they'll be perfectly happy to "own the libs" and give Biden what they think the rest of us gave their dear leader....

Call me an eternal pessi-optimist (TM) but enough people followed just enough politics so that Democrats kept the Senate.

And now we've got all these baying hyenas and thieving drag queens making it all the more obvious to even the most tuned-out taxpayer that maybe they should pay more attention to whom (?) they are paying.

But yeah, I am so sick of politics as entertainment. I echo Deutschmeister's disappointment in Democrats being delighted in the stupidity to come.

There is no reason to deprive the Democrats of their schadenfreude. There is little else they get considering they are always held to a double standard.
