To people who view politics as a spectator sport rather than a power structure for changing the material world, you gotta keep cheering for the home team and booing for the away team, until the end of time.
The treatment of western politics as a spectator sport is so deeply engrained in the culture that it's really hard to even get people to recognize they're doing it.
And it's ironic because I think it's become that way because the political system seems so unresponsive to actual efforts to change the material world, so people need to find a different reason to engage with it.
