You are right. It is taking way too long for a lot of us to overcome incredulity at how terrifying this really is. It is a coping mechanism of cognitive dissonance to fall upon a lifeline of hilarity, however understandable, when fear, then outrage, followed by righteous indignation, and fighting back with great fervor against this spreading darkness is urgently required. The enemies of our liberties suffer no remorse as they go about their dread business.
