The degree to which harassing your political opponents at their homes has become normalized is kinda remarkable. There& #39;s a strong case to be made that it& #39;s just not a democratically legitimate tactic
Yr basically saying, we& #39;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& #39;s also something inherently threatening abt revealing where someone lives/hinting u cld come back
Of course the counterpoint is that you& #39;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& #39;s inner peace, etc etc
But then you& #39;re having this meta debate that assumes there& #39;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!
