    I have to give them credit, Republicans have done a more successful job at showing that the whole system is a fraud than the last 150 years of American radicals.

        All systems are frauds if sufficiently gamed. All norms and laws depends on agreement that norms and laws matter.

        I guess I mean that any system can be turned into a fraud, even if it didn’t start out completely fraudulent.

        People keep saying how resilient American institutions are, when they all seem ready to crumble to me. If it's an end, it's a shabby one, but I can't say undeserved.

        That's an interesting framing. You should write it up somewhere!

        Couldn't another way of looking at this be that radicals have been right for 150 years but it took the GOP punching the country in the mouth once a day for 60 years for everyone else to say "hey, wait a minute..."
