The degree to which harassing your political opponents at their homes has become normalized is kinda remarkable. There's a strong case to be made that it's just not a democratically legitimate tactic
Yr basically saying, we're going to meet on the battlefield of your inner peace and your relationship with your neighbors, rather than at the level of policy and persuasion. There's also something inherently threatening abt revealing where someone lives/hinting u cld come back
Of course the counterpoint is that you're not actually threatening anyone and politics is inherently personal and members of the Senate have all sorts of private security and the occupation is more morally urgent than Elizabeth Warren's inner peace, etc etc
But then you're having this meta debate that assumes there's some actual, real-life tradeoff between conditions in the Middle East and the inner peace of a single individual living in Cambridge, Massachussets, which is also kinda weird!
