The premise of Wag the Dog wouldn’t really work in the Trump era because by the time the political operatives assembled the team to manufacture a distraction from the first scandal the President would have moved on to creating 47 other major scandals.

If you’re an optimist, there is an exit strategy:
If Biden wins and Democrats win the Senate and keep the House
And Majority Leader Schumer does not cower from abolishing the filibuster…
President Biden can get a bill passed that increases the judiciary by 100% (something sorely needed, as it now takes 2-3 years to get through the courts). The only way for conservatives to reverse this would be for themselves to hold all three branches simultaneously-- a feat not likely in this century.

“These aren’t people who have any stake in what happens in these elections.”
Er, one candidate won’t sit by and deny science and let a virus rage out of control… a virus which incidentally has murderously high fatality rates on the elderly.
And, nothing at stake? Well, if these elderly have no children or grandchildren…
“Team blue vs. team red bickering?” “Both sides are the same?” It always seems to be the Republicans who go that extra mile in being a douche (eg, egg-throwing/nail-using threats).
He’s just a little too facile and simplistic.
