• Usage:
  1.  From the section talking about the current Missouri Attorney General, Eric Schmidt: “For the most part, that’s involved fastidiously tracking the latest fronts in the United States’ ongoing culture wars, from mask-mandate mania to critical race theory panic to attacks on trans people — and then suing the shit out of everyone involved. Often that’s the state’s underfunded public schools, which then have to spend what little taxpayer money they’re allotted on fending off the AG’s  legal attacks, which are also funded by taxpayers, thereby creating something of an ouroboros of perfectly wasteful spending. Oh, and he also sued China over COVID-19 — totally on behalf of the people of Missouri, not at all a transparent campaign stunt. ”
