So long as "our team" wins the game it doesn't matter if the playing field and stadium are nothing but a smoking ruin when the game is over.
Winning the office is all that is important. Any amount of collateral damage is acceptable to the ruling class.
For the true believers out here in flyover country, all that matters is whether the team jersey has an "r" or "d" on it, and if their boy is in their opinion a nicer guy and more trustworthy than the other guy. Don't confuse the true believers with minor details.
