There are many parts of this article that should be in bold.
For example:
"Incredibly, no matter how many times we see this played out, Americans continue to naively buy into the idea that politics matter, as if there really were a difference between the Republicans and Democrats (there?s not)."
Another:
"Politics is a game, a joke, a hustle, a con, a distraction, a spectacle, a sport, and for many devout Americans, a religion."
Anyway, very good article.
