Reminder: David Simon Is A Real Idiot

Like a literal ocean-going fucktard.  Simon is so proud of the messes he makes in his pants that he can't possibly have any energy left to consider that Trump is merely the latest shitbag Republican, not some atypical monstrosity, and that the establishment parties, and party establishments, are more alike in 2019 than they were in 2014, as the burgeoning presidential campaign is proving every day.  That neoliberal resistance bullshit was resistance solely to a particular fat orange cretin and not to the racist conservative movement enabled by both the Republicans and Democrats in Washington for fifty fucking years.  Nope, Simon's a dolt.  He's a reactionary neoliberal dimwit most pleased when he's listening to himself--and for someone who was purportedly a reporter for a long time, he writes with the meager and threadbare vocabulary of the dull, slow kid in eighth grade who was like already 15.  Sure, he was part of one good TV show on NBC once, but that's not a life no matter how much you jerk off to old photos from when you were playing pretend policeman.
