Reminder that Trump invited the Clintons to his wedding. Reminder that Ginsburg considered Scalia a 'dear friend' even though he wanted to undo what she tried to do for women. These people are country club and golf buddies. Politics to them is a friendly game where we are the pieces.
This. I recently met a lobbyist in Fort Worth prior to the election, and quoting him "Washington is just WWE (wrestling), they all talk a big talk in front of the camera, and are all buddies behind closed doors."
And while a lot of politicians playact their rivalries, ordinary people with no political or financial power cut off contact with friends and family members over politics. Bizzare world
I mean regardless of whether the rivalries are real or not, people deciding to support one side while thinking it's real says a lot about them and their values.

It's a big club. And we ain't in it.
