    Imagine being about to die any day now, and still using your failing, literally sputtering life force to proactively stand for enduring corruption even when you’re gone and will no longer profit from it, as if the corporations that bribe the Republicans and Neoliberals will be able to send the bribe checks to hell or something.

    There aren’t many villains, even in fiction, that lack any nuance to this degree. McConnell truly is a palpatine-esque cartoon of malevolence.
