1994

This is how utterly cucked liberals are. Their whole thing is just filling in a power vacuum so the right won’t have it and just twiddling their thumbs all term. “We didn’t do any woke stuff, what more do you people want?”

Democrats might as well just be South Park republicans. (I mean, they are. That’s the main difference.)

Imagine being a people pleaser for a crowd that will never shut up about how no matter how much you suck them off, they will always hate you? I bet if I ran and told chuds to eat shit and I’m going to expand civil rights because fuck anyone who thinks they deserve special treatment from the government. At least one or two would begrudgingly admire I have a spine.

That’s not true. They cut social security. They assassinated a foreign dignitary. They did a 2 state deal in Palestine. They did some deal with China I can’t remember.

The only good thing to come out of West Wing was the podcast with Josh Olson and Dave Anthony.

Finally, with all the votes and power we can achieve our dream of maintaining the status quo

The background music swells and Our Hero Mr. Liberal WASP President gives a rousing speech about Unity and Democracy.

The world is saved!

I watched a screenwriter talk and one of the writers said something like “a good TV show requires a central conflict that can ultimately never be resolved”, which creates the conditions for consistent tension and drama that sustains a show for an indefinite amount of episodes/seasons. The premise of The West Wing is perfect for that. Plenty of drama, but nothing changes, because no one is really trying to change anything. It’s all shuffling deck chairs, which perfectly mirrors reality.

Because Democrats are conservatives and Republicans are reactionaries.
