Many pundits made a living selling over the top rhetoric which they did not personally believe, an easy pattern to fall into in the years when it seemed all the big questions were settled, and that nothing was really at stake for most. What could a little hyperbole cost, anyway?
The sun has set on those days, and now we find that we cannot simply turn it off when needed. Somewhere Flight 93 is always taking off; somewhere else people are convinced that The Cruelty Is The Point. And no one is more horrified than those who thought they knew the game.
The pathologies of the moment are in no small part child to the choices made by insiders and intellectuals of the prior era. There is no Trump without deep rot in institutional conservatism; there is no dirtbag left without the same in liberalism. It could only go on so long.
When you imagine the future, imagine being on Flight 93 about to take off in 1930s Germany FOREVER.
