The chameleons of the political swamp are members of the bully triad or the bully, the victim, and the bystander. Members of the bully triad can switch roles at any time depending on current predators and swamp resources. What would it take to stabilize the political swamp so that effective policy, negotiations, and collaboration flow without the tedium of the toxic exchange of hate, violence, and even avoidance? The answer is don't lie and don't be rude and follow the standing rules of engagement for civility during peacetime and for opposing forces.
