Early in Trump’s term I had a tumor in the part of the brain that controlled balance.  I had a big problem walking without hanging on to objects nearby.  At the same time I had trouble urinating into the small containers that could be used in a bed.  Thus, I wanted to travel the 10 or so feet to the bathroom which was part of every hospital room.

I can say that even then I didn’t want any racist violent thugs anywhere near my penis.  Your quote above is an obvious lie.  In lying to yourself, you are trying to get worked up about nothing.

That is not to say America doesn’t have racist violent thugs.  They are just more like the brownshirts than the Gestapo.  They are private political and racist organizations not yet part of the official state.  They include the Neo Nazi, the KKK, the Proud Boys the bad cops, the Wolverine Watchmen, a few other so called militias and other red violent organizations.

Turnings turn.  In the unravelling, things went towards small government and not solving problems.  In the crisis, the urge is to solve problems for the common good.  Not everyone is going to be thrilled by the change.  Rural people do not see problems as soon as the urban, and people are spread out enough that it is effective to be ready to handle stuff by yourself.  There are rational reasons why folks would prefer one turning over the other.

But if you don’t solve problems for long enough, the urge to solve them once and for all comes to the fore.

Don’t take precautions against the bug.  Let bad cops kill minorities.  Do big damage to the environment.  We haven’t ever taken precautions before.  Why now?

Now recently whenever anyone wants to solve a problem, whenever anyone thinks everyone should show shared responsibility for the common good, you will complain about a perceived loss of liberty.  This is the turnings turning.  People used to the status quo will want it holding against real problems great and small.  Others will think they have waited long enough.

I can’t stop you from complaining.  I can’t force you to acknowledge the problems being addressed.  If you don’t highlight the problem, you are nigh on lying.  You will mischaracterize the problem to support your policy of inaction.

Here it is almost like spamming.  Whenever you note someone trying to solve another problem you open a new thread to complain about it.  In a crisis, that is a lot of threads.  Could you at least create one thread about people trying to solve problems?  You can insist that problems should be eternal there and leave room on the front page for other topics.
