There’s something oddly performative about several hundred people spending their Monday mornings protesting a congressman … for doing what he said he would do.
In an era where political theatre routinely outpaces policy, this latest production outside Rep. Schweikert’s Scottsdale office fits neatly in the political genre where outrage substitutes for outreach and spectacle replaces strategy.
Protestors claim to be outraged — deeply, righteously so — that Schweikert supports the president of his own party. Imagine that: a Republican aligning with Republican leadership. One might as well protest water for being wet.
