Political commentary ought to resonate, not thud, or anaesthetize.
For me, it resonates because it thuds, thuds in a way that makes the ground shake like the tread of a zombie army. And it doesn't anaesthetize me; it alternates between leaving me boiling mad at the way he misrepresents everything his opponents actually believe, or dumbfounded by the possibility that he himself might believe the shit he spews.
