Good to hear. It is not mockery. When I observe politicians I cannot help but
wonder about the trappings of power. Each expression may fairly be
interpretable, Navalny's or AOC's, on some level as a bid in a perpetual
game of political narrative scoping, a rhetorical performance insisting
"this is who we are today". As far as I can tell, it doesn't require
authenticity or consistency to play. Today we are playing civil, tomorrow
boxing our little brother's ears.
