In response to "Half of me is glad that this is being illuminated now, to give us opportunity to position ourselves in response. The other half laments that we might be giving him ideas. -- nm*" by znufrii

If the vast majority isn't horrified by the things we've learned to accept in the last 16 years...I'm pessimistic that

suddenly everyone will be repulsed by something new.

We've already locked up folks for life with no trial. We accept that everyone in an airport is a mortal threat worthy of extreme security measures. We accept that the traditional enemy of the US for the last 3 generations interfered with our election. We've accepted an AG who causally suggests throwing journalist in jail.

The history buff in me is fascinated by this. The person in me is stunned.
