And crucially, they can only imagine winning an argument in good faith against a good faith opponent, without fundamentally changing the politics of their opponent outside of this one argument. Republicans imagine the mass executions of democrats, while democrats imagine one Republican doing the right thing and voting on some milquetoast reform bill.
Lin-Manuel Miranda should turn "Good, Noble Republicans" into a play. Libs can't get enough of that shit.
Mr. Surburbia - the hero - breaks into a rap with a chorus backup.
Good, Noble Republicans are out there (They're out there, y'all! They are!)
Good, Noble Republicans are out there (They're out there, y'all! They are!)
Good, Noble Republicans are out there (They're out there, y'all! They are!)
Spoken: "Who's that I see?!" From stage right Mike the Neighbor enters. The applause is loud there are even some whomps. He's a fan fave. He gets right down to it.
Just 'cause I'm in the G-O-P - liberals - they won't talk to me!..
I just want lower taxes, G. Nothing racist about my "All Lives Matter" tee
Thank the police comin' straight from the sub-burbs
A young con got it good 'cause I'm white
But not the other color, so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority
Eff that shit, 'cause they ain't the one
For bad police officers with a badge and a gun
To be beating them and throwing in jail
They can go toe-to-toe in the middle of a cell
Effin' with them 'cause they're a teenager
With a little bit a gold and a sneaker
Searchin' their car, lookin' for the product
Thinkin' every black guy is sellin' narcotics
They'd rather see them in the pen
Than them and Lorenzo rollin' in a Benz-o
Beat a POC out of shape
And when dey finished - bring the yellow tape
Okay, now that I have your kind attention let's talk about realistic police reform. We can do this! Oh, right - I forgot! Oops! Thank you to rights holders of the song Eff tha Police for granting us usage permission. Where was I?...

Later Ned Neolib (the actor who plays Mike the Neighbor) posted a 1,000 word defense of "dey". However - the next day the producers said "We appreciate everything Ned Neolib has brought to the play but he is no longer in the cast."
This should be a site tagline, how do I nominate? Did I just do it now?
