“American Carnage”

MARK: Jesus, you’re such a rookie. Let me fill you in on a dirty little secret, Michelle. Being in
Congress? Either House or Senate? It’s a job. That’s it. That’s all it is, in the end. A goddamn
job. We work jobs to MAKE. MONEY. That is the sole purpose of work. To make money. And
you don’t stop the money. Ever. You wanna know the truth? Here’s the real truth: most people in
government, in either party, don’t give a fuck about the things you care about. Or the things I
care about. Sure, there actual racists and misogynists, sure there are actual liberal warriors and
snowflakes and all that nonsense. But they’re few and far between. The overwhelming majority
of your elected officials don’t give a fuck if you’re black. Or white. Or gay. Or a woman. Or a
Muslim. Or trans. Or from Saturn! They don’t give a fuck. Either way! Yeah, for the cameras, for
the crowd, they’ll put on a show. You bet they will. But they don’t care. Not really. Turns out, the
true currency in Washington is currency. Who woulda guessed?
