"Discovering that impeachment is political" twitter is my own private Santa Claushttps://twitter.com/NormOrnstein/status/1205594159312252937 …
I see that, but the performance of outrage at the failure of another American political institution bugs me. We're three years in to this disaster and are getting played the same way, while walking into it knowing "we're about to get played". So I cry despair into the tweetstream

I mean, the “don’t act surprised every time” part of that I hear loud and clear. But there’s also a “speak the truth every time” part that’s important and necessary. Creeping authoritarianism wants to be taken for granted; exhausting outrage is part of how it creeps.

I really wish repeated Dem outrage turned into an effective strategy. Still, it’s far preferable to apathetic cynicism. It’s not the presence of outrage but the lack of effective countering that bugs me.
