Two days of protests and you start seeing liberals talking like Edmund Burke. A week of protesting and they are sounding like Joseph de Maistre.

Somehow I’ve missed this or else don’t think of people who say that kind of stuff as “liberals.” Any semi-prominent writers/thinkers? Not snark, serious question.

The most visible example would be de Blasio, a leading progressive not too long ago.

Yeah—that’s a pathetic, in some senses tragic case. And its linked to his obeisance to the cops. You’re seeing that with a lot of urban, Democratic pols—the power relationship is breaking them in two. But less so from writers/thinkers or have I missed those examples?

Well, in terms of writers/thinkers, there's some subtweets and esoteric writing going around that I read as signs of discomfort. Lee Fang of The Intercept is an explicit example.
