Not at all. There is no step like the first step... as a new administration "leaps into action" one cannot help but see an opportunity to learn.
Political alignments are highlighted, old grudges spot-lighted, "personal" matters become clear.... any ignorance you might find in yourself is shared between many, many more... it's good to be able to laugh at it... because it's not like these folks are ever keen to explain the real "why" they take the positions they do.
