I think he’s talking about modern politics in America. That’s the impression I got, anyway. It’s the conclusion that made sense given that staunch Republican voters make up about 25% of the population, yet they have majorities in office all over the place. I guess I did kind of jump to a conclusion, but when I read “The dickish have taken over” I kind of thought of the Republican party right away. Of course there’s also the “woke” and “social justice warriors” on the left who don’t understand that the cultural view was very different decades ago.
