“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”
But if the democrats broke a norm, then Republicans could do the same thing! Sure, they’re doing it now even though we upheld it, but don’t you see? Now, the voters will see that they broke the rules![emoji smuglord smuglord](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png)

Remember when Stone Cold Steve Austin became the biggest thing in wrestling by just sitting back and taking it when he got screwed out of the championship time and time again?
It’s so easy to get behind a complete and total chump!
If there’s one thing that’s absolutely reviled in American culture, it’s a loose cannon who doesn’t play by the rules.
That’s every lead in any American cop movie.
