    It’s political.

    Think about it like wrestling. Everybody is a character, nothing is real, but they really need you to believe it is. It’s all an act to keep your attention.

      It’s all fucking keyfabe. On television all the politicians will act like they hate each other however as soon as the cameras are off. It’s buddy, buddy time.

      I understand in a democracy, there has to be discussions and comprise. The problem is that politicians don’t do it on television to dispel the fantasy that they all hate other.
