Yeah the thing about Chapo's disgust for The West Wing is their whole deal is just a mirror image of Sorkin's - the idea that wit and snark and public disrespect is the secret weapon that brings down tyrants (and, indeed, the only weapon used by trustworthy people of character)https://twitter.com/Danofran/status/1243218940475498496 …

The idea that Sorkin is about niceness and empathy and logic is just stupidly wrong, maybe Sorkin would defend himself in those terms but he'd be lying Sorkin is an asshole and he writes characters who are assholes and his primary delusion is the same one as the Chapo guys

The idea that being an asshole is PRODUCTIVE, that the catharsis you feel when you finally tell someone off is somehow proof you've accomplished something, the idea that most people aren't assholes because they're too stupid or cowardly as opposed to because it doesn't work
