        Does panic help one way or the other?

        "panic" is shorthand here for be aware of an extremely dire situation.

        I think a panicking liberalism is the dumbest liberalism, though.

        Again, I'm saying "be extremely concerned." Panic is a slightly ironic shorthand.

      judging by my Facebook feed, the panic level of liberals is pretty high.
