These fucks know they’re invincible. It’s fucking pouring salt on a wound.
It's one part genuine horror at the collapse of institutions and one part mea culpa that lets you go to the liberal cocktail party and announce "Well, I mailed in my Op-Ed to The Atlantic and that's all I can even do so its someone else's problem now."
But there is some tacit acknowledgement among some number of people that shit like the New Deal and Great Society weren't the results of Populist Revolutions. They were backstops against Revolutions. And now that those backstops are crumbling, the class conflicts Capital had successfully bottled up for the last century are threatening to flood the nation.
