Right. But unfortunately that's our reality. We have to build up. If we ever want to move that Overton window... well now it jumped ten steps to the right. It doesn't go back and forth between each cabinet. It just keeps sliding into the right because again: the right has no standards and is happy to march in lockstep while we quibble over which progressive policy just isn't good enough.
I fear we deserve to watch the nation burn because like you said, democracy requires vigilance
