A little outrage doesn’t hurt.
It serves as a reminder that they are Machiavellian players, not men of honor.
It serves to remind us that they are desperately struggling to keep control of their positions. They really are not in defense of their lives.
But, yes, we are in a cold civil war.
A big problem is sorting out the allies, traitors, renegades and factions of the opposition.
The opposition knows this is not going to work against Moore. Rather, it's just a skirmish to test the periphery before the great battle of 2018 begins in earnest.
The enemy has already outed themselves by identifying Bannon as the true target. So, now anyone with a clue knows what this is really all about.
2018 is for all the marbles. Trump loses Congress, say hello to impeachment. Trump takes Congress, good-bye deep state. Possibly for good.
It's not even about money. Every senator and many/most reps are already financially comfortable. Rather, this is just a pissing contest between people who really have nothing else going on in their lives.
By not developing true skills and authentic family/community networks, they're just hollow shells. Like drug addicts, they're constantly looking for their next fix. This is just a game to them; it's what gets their dopamine receptors firing as they excitedly meet over dinner & cocktails.
But everyone should remember that they just aren't that smart. They could never function in normal society where you have to have skills and deliver value. So, as you observe their ridiculous game plan unfold, jump ahead to where it gets interesting with Trump/Bannon vs DNC/RNC uni-party.
