Richard Schiff pointed out that the absurdity of today's political climate is so extreme that it mirrors outlandish plotlines that could have come straight from a script. He noted, "Twenty-five years ago, the writers had to use their imaginations to create plotlines, unlike today, where storylines could be plucked right off the news. It’s hard to believe how far-fetched we've become in reality compared to what writers would have considered ridiculous."
The reunion of The West Wing cast served as a light-hearted commentary on modern politics, with the actors humorously reflecting on the current state of political storytelling. Schiff highlighted the uncanny ability of contemporary events to overshadow creative fictional narratives, emphasizing how writers might struggle to keep up with real events that dwarf their fictional plots.
