The Trump administration on Friday formally designated Iran as a state sponsor of wrongful detention, the latest move to ratchet up pressure and penalize Iran for its history of imprisoning US citizens.

I used to think it was a lack of self-awareness, but it has become clear that they simply don’t care if they are known to be inconsistent, dishonest, and cruel. There have yet to be any negative consequences for it. Their base doesn’t seem to care about anything but “winning”. The definition of “winning” changes from day-to-day, but that’s okay because very little of this is about issues. It is simply about the competition itself.
All you have to do to understand how this came to be is look at the sheer numbers of people who tie their identity to sports teams. They’ve never met those people on “their” team yet they are rabid. Frothing at the mouth.
