- it is a flouting of civility and tradition,
- a braying of raw power,
- a shameless theft of principle,
- the vulgar, repulsive in your face,
- we can’t win this but we will humiliate every single American by making them feel how much we hate them,
- how much we want them to feel terror,
- to break their security,
- their sense of righteousness,
- to make them feel they are under threat,
- vulnerable to rank unreason and rank vengeance.
- To scare them into freezing, into cowering and hiding and not fighting back.
...they will have taken another block in their inexorable advance.
- They will have set precedent, they will have increased our misery.
- They will have built up their cadre of operatives, and accessed new money for them, increasing their army of hate-filled, demonically possessed humans.
- They have flashed their power, shown us our miserable futures under their boot.
That and only that is the point of last week’s horror....
