One side is having a sharp-elbowed debate over policy and priorities, with the usual charges and counter-charges and gaffes and tone policing you’d expect during any political primary. On the other side, we have sheer pandemonium unfolding, with a man who could conceivably become President of the United States openly encouraging mob violence. (This cartoon was written before the weekend chaos at Trump’s rallies, but I have a feeling that’s going to be an ongoing topic in the weeks ahead.) As someone said on Twitter, it’s as if the primaries are taking place under two entirely different political systems. Fasten your seat belts — exhausting as it seems, we’re only getting started, and there’s undoubtedly worse turbulence ahead.
