Journalists and their war metaphors.

OK, use a war metaphor (to NYT journalist) in that embarrassing, dreadfully unserious Hollywood way if you must, (go on, call me a cultural snob) to depict the current never ending, it would appear, US political argument is an entertaining deployment of imagery.

But to be serious, like some 100 year war, this internecine US bloody political battle drags on in it muddy way, or so it seems from this side of the pond. Employing your war metaphor, the NYT and the Media - all of the officer class, denoting their lack of socio economic diversity and the Democratic guard are perpetually assembled on the Hill ever ready for battle, while Republicans gather in the trenches below, or reverse this scenario if your tiringly must, each side determined to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. When you are fighting a deplorable foe, the ends justify any means the General advice their troops, and this motto serves as a rationale for any bias or selfishness. One is reminded of adolescent children and their pimply warring elements and in the view of many on this side of the water, America is an adolescent country. Speaking of adolescence to see Macron espousing globalism without any understanding of the etymology of Nationalism and it patriotic underpinning, was to view adolescence par excellence, but then he married a Teacher thereby signing up to the pervasive world view of the soi disant (so called) educated classes. God save us, from the political class: so the war must go on, or must it?
