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 …

Lol the majority of Sorkin speeches aren't speeches that turn villains into good guys, they're absolutely this stupid cliché of "rallying the masses" Sorkin and Chapo's childish fantasies are exactly the same thing

Sorkin has almost never, ever written a villain who goes to shake hands and say "You're right, you beat me", much less this nonsense about "making their heart grow three sizes" That would ruin the catharsis of seeing them humiliated

Yes, they do "hang their head" in the sense that they can't think of a good comeback and now they feel like shit That's the whole goal, it's the same one Chapo strives for

The whole point of the Sorkin Speech is the applause and the soaring poll numbers afterwards, the bad guy "hanging their head" is just cinematic shorthand to let you know it's happened
