“They don’t, in fact, play by the rules of civil engagement. They take these made up, pretentious photos, sitting uncomfortably and wearing ridiculous shoes; cosplaying as civil servants, but they aren’t. They’re strangers to the public good. Fictitious characters created in the form of honest people. This is why no matter how much you discuss and dismantle their policies or their beliefs, none of that will hurt them more than acknowledging the truth. Because those beliefs are not true or held with conviction, they are unimportant to them. Their image as serious people is the only weapon they have.”
