    They’ve been raising the heat in the pot for decades. Some of us have been paying attention, but we typically get called “sensationalist” or “alarmist”. They’ve started calling us “an tea fuh” and “unAmerican” now. Camps will probably come at some point.

    Incrementalism was the death knell of this country. We’re just hearing the death rattle now.

      Man in the 2000s it was straight up “Extremist”, “Traitor”, “snowflake.”

      That’s what so frustrating to see what OP said. That, plus gerrymandering, citizens United, and voter suppression. The GOP has been dismantling the Republic for longer than I’ve been alive.
