There's a mountain of literature on the subject..but none of that stopped us from calling it "economic anxiety" - or, really, anything other than what it is and was. That's how we got here in the first place. Just as the racists have insisted that we not call them racist..and society allowed that...those people who stormed the capital also believed that they had the warrant of society.
Broadly speaking, the right wing has come to the belief that they should be allowed to run society even if people don't want them too...and we allowed it.....
Sort of a pattern. It's really not their fault. They can't help but be who they are. They're going to keep doing it because they think it's right. It's our fault for entertaining it, it's our fault for shielding them from the consequences of their actions and positions, and it's our fault for not doing a thing about it - up to and included letting a belt of 556 peel out over the insurgents on their first hare-brained attempt.
I suppose "we" includes any non-conservatives? What are we to do about it, other than not showing up for elections?
Why is it so?
