As a non-American, I donât quite get the fascination for filibustering. Yes, some guy (doesnât matter which side of the aisle heâs from â this cast is apolitical) stood talking for 25 hours and five minutes. Yes, he beat the previous record by 47 minutes. No, he did not go to the bathroom, nor did he eat nor drink. The media are celebrating this as a âphysical and mental feat that required stamina and willpowerâ, as if this was the Olympics. Except that itâs not a sport, itâs just a performative stunt that further trivializes politics and turns them into a farce, at a time when we need adults in the room more than ever. No wonder the electorate feels disconnected and numb.
