now, what's going on at the moment is a little different; it's just empty, pointless, meaningless theatre that is explicitly designed to waste time in congress, and there should be a giant backlash on the left that this is what they're wasting time on, in the middle of a pandemic and the onset of an economic depression. worse, while it seems to be that republicans seem to agree with the censure right now, it's opening a can of worms.

is this going to become normal?

and, what should my concern be, here? should i be concerned about blowback on future democrats?

or should i embrace the potential collapse of the washington consensus and the return to partisan politics? we could only hope, right? we could only dream that such naivete may assert itself in reality...
