"political pugilism" nice turn of phrase Russ ! You didn't mention sticker shock at the food markets. Groceries becoming a luxury item, when humans need to eat to live.

Wish our press would focus on this. Excellent article in this weekend's FT by Francis Fukuyama paraphrased here:

Facts (read this column) battle MAGA fantasy. Tragically, MAGA triumphs more times than not.

Trumpites put boots on the ground. We don't.

Shame on us.

Without political insight, voters elect officials who are neither qualified nor capable of performing their official duties.
