Honestly, we've been too anodyne about this. We've wanted to avoid hyperbole and catastrophizing. There have been people on the fringes with the proper emotional orientation, but too many have treated this as if it's an aberration. But it's not. It's a shift. The shitgibbons on the other side are changing the game and if we don;t understand that, they will just roll over us. They are relying upon our basic decency to allow them to take over completely before we can even respond.
