    The point of a representative democracy is that nobody needs to know every fine detail of politics. They pick a representative to do that for them.

    Then nobody pays any attention, apart from an occasional headline.

    They saw someone being an open piece of shit, and that was a change from the previously diplomatic suits. Change you can believe in!

      Yeah, I guess that’s my point - the being an open piece of shit is part of the culture war. It’s not really about any policies, per se, other than those meant to hurt other people.
