I put the metaphorical bullet in your brain,, so you’ll have less “faith” in government. It was the only humane thing left to do. You sound like you're trying to be clever but you've missed again - must be windy I guess. Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal

And yeah, that happens, has happened is happening and will happen. It's a boiling frog kind of thing but it's currently clarifying. What was mainstream is becoming fringe. What was fringe, mainstream. Wildly partisan types now think of themselves as moderates. And it reminds me of the famous Breitbart quote, "Politics is downstream from culture." Culture is changing and politics will exploit any new advantage. The old political pendulum seems more like a wrecking ball these days. When did reactionaries start believing that piling on and adding momentum was the solution? Non-partisans are too busy ducking and trying to get out of the way. My own Overton Window moves up and down not back and forth. Between what's acceptable and not acceptable in terms of the government's advantages.
