I like your take, and your nuanced approach. People seem to be under the impression that their rage matters more than actually thinking about what caused it, and how best to address that.

If I were Republican, or voted Republican, and this shit happened, I'd be pissed. But more to the point, I'd find ways of fighting it, to whatever degree I can.

It is simply an unfortunate artifact of our system (of many systems) that there's a lot of potential to lie. Changes in our system that mitigate that, and that fundamentally allow for more parties to participate in the process, are where we really need to head, long-term.

And in the short term, fuck that policy.
