      It does communicate a real perspective. For a lot of yankees, there is very little political interaction. It’s just something that happens on the TV. Or through online posts. Outside of the first Tuesday in November, our “politics” (if you can even call it that) is a passive spectator-sport.

    Warm take but I don’t really think it’s funny this time except maybe in its refuge in audacity, like Trump announcing tariffs on truth social. I wonder what the over under is on him actually knowing what a tariff even is. I’d say slim.
