Yeah I feel like actual liberal people who are concerned about the state of politics and repression today should at least have the wherewithal to understand that most probably, *they* personally are not under attack.

There are masked men ( #iceĀ ) running around American cities, racially profiling working people and throwing them into vans. You're probably not at risk of that if you're getting the bottomless mimosas at brunch.

But certain segments of the "elite" are arguably under attack... University professors, civil servants, etc. Now these people are probably going to do just fine, but they *do* have something to complain about.

Their doomerism actually

1) to normal people, makes their politics look like a miserable headspace to be in. It's a really obvious pattern that any midwit can pick up on.

2) misdirects their energy, making them thing it's all about them, and not the people they ostensibly care about

Right... "how is this actually all about me?" vs "how can I make a positive change in the world?"
