    The giant shit show you’re seeing today really just started in the past decade.

    It started with Nixon. That was the prototype for modern American political theater. Then Reagan legitimized having a celebrity, glad hander, and straight up fucking traitor in the White House. After that it has been a slow regression from performative politics into reality television.
