Because there is no “normal” now, or because the normal that we have is ever shifting and ever worsening…..many of us spend most of our days enraged and feeling helpless that our nation has been hijacked by a criminal and his clown car of flunkies. Folks like Greene and Carlson and their ilk are simply latent Trumps..,waiting for an opportunity to move into power and continue the assault on our decency. We need to recognize them for what they are and to call them out at every opportunity..The media must stop taking a pass on confronting them. There are historic examples of what happens when people look away as their freedoms are eroded until there’s no freedom left. We are headed in that general direction. Thanks for this important essay.
