A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say “what’s the big deal?” But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

I think there is some value in dressing nice and decorum. The same way we dress nice for family dinner or wear business casual to work even though there might be no dress code, it shows respect. That being said, if anyone is outraged at this then they completely lost the track. We’re long way past the point of caring about “decorum” in the senate. Dressing nice is like that nice little cherry on top of the sundae, it does not fucking matter if the sundae is made of literal shit.
You and I have entirely different families.
Depends on the occasion I guess.
You are a very strange person
I used to do that. It helped me maintain a clear mental boundary between home and work.
Well I wasn’t necessarily including myself in that we, but most people I work with try to dress nice. In that sense I am indeed the strange one in my office. Anyway, it was meant as a general statement about people, not a description of my life.
I definitely try to wear nice shorts and a nice t shirt and closed-toed shoes, but business casual is an oxymoron I refuse to participate in unless forced.
Like I said, it’s ridiculous for them to cry crocodile tears over a guy in a hoodie when they wave away the fact that the whole building was sacked by a horde of magats. If there was any sign at all that they respected any of our country’s institutions, then they could possibly be taken seriously on this. (But not likely.)
You dress nice for family dinner? They’re lucky if I have pants
I wear shorts and a T-shirt to work and I wouldn’t want to have to do bullshit dressing up for it. I’m there to work, not to “look professional.”
He’s from Pennsylvania. I grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in several parts of it before I left the state. Dressing nice for family dinner means putting on a clean hoodie and your nicer jeans and sneakers/boots.
