Think what we're seeing is a lot of people saying, "hey, elections are probably more important than we thought."

@emptywheel Agree on voting stuff, but raised Q because of https://twitter.com/jacklgoldsmith/status/759310134963240960 … Again, Q is DNC = critical infrastructure? -
So one might argue that current state = overprioritization of corporations, underprioritization of non-some gov orgs.

@emptywheel In essence, US govt cyber protection for "elites". Particularly those with political power. Sorry Girl Scouts. -
Yup. Keith A wanted to roll out island of defense that'd get protected. A cyber-castle effectively

@emptywheel Excellent analogy! The royals in the castle protected by cyber-moat & us serfs outside getting pillaged & ransacked.
