    I'm fascinated by the subset of putative liberals and leftists who have made a specialty of reacting to every reactionary outrage by saying "don't make too much of this, it's no big deal." I mean, I take the point that hysteria is unhelpful but so is complacency.

        it's not wise to react fearfully to anything which might be truly dangerous until it's too late to do anything about the bad thing which happened, I am a sober and responsible commentator

        Ah, remember back when there was NO WAY IN HELL that Trump would become president? The aftermath of that really instilled a sense of “anything is possible, but in a bad way,” and I know I’m not alone on this.

        20 years of things that individually are not a big deal and yet somehow 20 years later it is quite clear that at some point a big deal has happened hmmm

        more like it's not a big deal for liberals if Democrats are only a little better than Republicans, b/c they're shielded from the decades of Democrats' failure, just as they'll be shielded when Republicans control all 3 branches. And yet they blame it on the Left?

        I'm not sure how one can look at voter turnout percentages in U.S. elections relative to other countries or the political IQ/ understanding of the average American and think that we need more complacency.
