Our politics
used to be like baseball. The rules are rigid, and umpire error
is subject to instant game analysis and league review.
Opposing fans will cheer for their respective
teams, then ride to work together the next morning amidst good natured
banter.
Today it more closely resembles soccer, with rules that are easily
subjectively applied, which leads supporters to believe they were
denied victory by cheating game officials, which is sometimes the
case. Moats separate fans from the field; wars have erupted over
the game. It can get ugly.
Like now.
