(2,113 posts)We've been under constant attack for at least the last 6 years, since TFG rode his fat, putrid ass down that escalator. It's been a constant barrage of flagrant lawlessness and shameless grift, day after day, month after month, year after year. It was like this during W's reign but with TFG et al, the shit's being flung at us at warp speed. Every time we think "this is it, this will be the thing that brings them down," they do something even more egregious. And even less of a stink is raised.
When TFG was "elected", we took to the streets. And he/they upped their game. They know that we all have families, jobs, responsibilities, lives, that preclude us from constantly protesting. So, they kept - and keep on - upping the ante. They've flooded the zone so much, for so long, that we've all got outrage fatigue. We're so pissed off at so many things and so many people, how the hell do you rally around anything specific when almost everything is broken? It's overwhelming. We can't protest everything so we protest nothing.
Mission accomplished.
