Only Old People Are Interested in Playing Bridge Anymore
Democracy is a game of bridge
where each coalition must partner with others
and going for broke requires
not just suicidal risk
but a suicide pact,
putting the brakes on stunts with existential risk
But the culture war is a game of high stakes poker
where it’s every man for himself
and everyone at the table
is already pot committed,
setting the table for the inevitable
winner-takes-all one party rule
