And the contradictions there are objectively hilarious. LOOK! They can’t even keep their lines straight! But there’s a lot more going on here than meets the eye. At its core, this entire confrontation and the liberal reaction to it is a demonstration of a clash of competing conceptions of politics that hinges on fundamentally different understandings of bureaucracy, a clash with incredibly dangerous consequences.
