A really large proportion of the political class—and, I think, more of them, the higher up you go—are basically practicing kayfabe (the façade of reality that "Pro Wrestlers" and many fans engage in). They rip into each other on TV then go golfing together like nothing happened, same as a wrestling "face" and "heel" in the locker room might be cordial to one another when the cameras aren't following them. None of it's real, just an act, for lots of them, including the policies they push.
