    You’re basically right; They’re actually smart, but not in a nice way and not that smart. First past the post voting essentially guarantees this dynamic; duopoly a la Good Cop Bad Cop.

    They know they can skate by on that, but they’re not afraid enough of the fact that the insurrection has not ended, and will only escalate. Their Bad Cop isn’t a method actor, but an actual bad cop who already has a drop piece with their name on it.

    Fascism has never yet been defeated without an actual fight. This time isn’t different.
