    All this looks like a conflict on a stereotypical Middle-Eastern market.

    Two sides with the emotion of “munnat” in long words and exaggerated comparisons talking stuff about each other that doesn’t make sense, but nobody remembers it should even make sense.

    Republicans do more of that, but funny for both.

      It’s because elections are won on emotions and vibes, not “boring” policies, unfortunately.

        Yes, but specific emotions and vibes that work or are used today are strange.

        Politicians used to imitate that proverbial craftsman that is starving first half of the day, or that proverbial worker class man with one pair of jeans with holes in them and dust grown into his skin, or that proverbial farmer that looks 40 in his 20, but all these somehow gotten to the top to be politicians, or at least a gentleman with good intentions.

        While now they play what I described.
