You know, I got dragged along to a production of Hamilton last night. (I really don't like musicals, but I legit enjoyed it. Aaaanyway...)

I had a similar thought during "The Room Where It Happens"

"The art of the compromise
Hold your nose and close your eyes
We want our leaders to save the day
But we don't get a say in what they trade away"

Is "representation" our opium?
