The difference is this. Republicans' greatest fear is the tweet that kicks them out of the gang. With few exceptions, Dems greatest fear is their megadonors closing their wallets. Even "low-information" folks know this and you can hardly blame them for judging Dems the worse hypocrites.

kleptocracy, gerontocracy, kakistocracy, oligarchy, plutocracy... terms that fit but don't quite capture what's special about this historical moment. Can anyone contribute a new word for rule by bullies and abusers?

A lot of people who are not bad people still think politics is just a TV show akin to pro wrestling. That's who swung the election. Old school Dems either think they ought to stay above it or they fall flat when they venture into the ring. 1/2
