I disagree. Whenever I want to gel optimistic about government, i start watching it again.
In fact, after being a cable new junkie for years, after Trump was elected it became impossible for me to watch the news for a long time. Instead, I rewatched the whole WW series again.
Naw. The West Wing is the antidote to Trump. It's the escapist day dream that the White House could actually be staffed by good people wanting to good things for a good reason. As opposed to a narcissistic turnip who's priorities are me me me, and my money.
It's the previous guy who messed up the White House (while he was busy ruining my health insurance). They're still trying to air out the stench of Afro Sheen and Marlboros.
