Rows of booths, but everyone’s playing a different game. They expect to win, but many don’t know their game is impossible. Regardless of the difficulty, they still play with a smile, devising their own strategy to win. Some play the game of trying to end the fossil fuel industry and others play the game of building a wall on the southern border. Whether or not the laws pass, they still work for their constituents to try to better their country. Walking through the halls, you’ll see the bright lights from video crews and camera flashes while you hear reporters shouting questions. You see the drama up close, and it’s overstimulating.
You’re at the District State Fair.
