This is what they really want, isn’t it? Entertaining politics to write about. They beg for a brokered convention almost every POTUS election cycle. They want drama and clicks and to be relevant.

Writing up drama is a lot easier than doing any actual reporting

“You guys are obsessed with Trump. Did you used to date him? Because you pretend like you hate him, but I think you love him. I think what no one in this room wants to admit is that Trump has helped all of you. He has helped you … sell your papers and your books and your TV.” -Michelle Wolf 2018

Well, they would have plenty of interesting stuff to write about under a fascist regime. Only problem is, they would not be allowed to write it. Make politics boring again.

Because apparently the whole country/democracy being at stake and SCOTUS inventing shit in the constitution out of whole cloth isn't enough to talk about.

Except they don't seem to want the drama and clicks that "hey maybe a convicted felon who tried to overthrow the government shouldn't be running again" would generate. It's really just a large-scale effort to undermine the Democrats.

In a world where so many sports get almost no press coverage, this is a real waste of talent. Imagine if this kind of pot-stirring, narative-crafting energy was going towards, like, women's fencing instead. They should watch the Olympics and pick a new beat.
