The mockery of Kevin McCarthy is a little irrational. The lengths that men will go to maintain power. That's all it is. I"m not insensible to it. There's a lot to be done. The human drama of this moment is unspeakable. It's a ritual scalping.
Remember when Cersei Lannister was paraded around in penance during the TV show Game of Thrones? Perhaps this is overly interpretative. The impossibility of that show is that no one will ever get satisfaction. To promote that would take a certain distaste for civilized procedure. But somehow these parliamentary shenanigans have happened anyway. Interpretative of:
It's an echo of the country we were revealed to be after the groundswell in voters over the past ten years. Insisting that we still do parliamentary procedure - as leverage for what? Ostensibly for diversity. But how about this: the long and short of it is I don't fear this sort of parliamentary procedure. It's worthwhile to ask why.
Interpretation of this moment in the press
The worth of this moment is going to be decided by if these guys do anything worthy. The next few years will depend on what goes on at the state level. Which makes my area an important place to be.
The arena of contestation has narrowed to who holds the mandate for democratic ideology. Which means only one thing. I smell the farm. A crucial part of the conversation has moved over from conservation to cultivation.
