    We play this game every four years. New President, new crisis, new media cycle

    If you really believe that all this (waves hand around) is business as usual you’ve been living under a bigger rock and/or are in deeper denial than OOP.

      you’ve been living under a bigger rock

      Not a rock. Iraq.

      Identical unitary executive. Identical look-the-other-way SCOTUS. Identical pliant media. Torture of dissidents. Police disappearing people. Purges of opposition from the bureaucracy. Right wing militias doing domestic terrorism. Ecological disasters going unreported. Leftists getting blamed for making things worse. Liberals passively green lighting fascism. Bubble economy with jobless growth. People on the Internet telling you this is totally different than Reagan.

      It’s happening again.
