This is a take that depends on completely ignoring the reality of how Republicans have been treating the country—from police brutality to the covid nightmare to the lawlessness of Trump.

It's the essence of gaslighting and enablement of the most horrifying empowered abuse. https://twitter.com/svdate/status/1299381305478729730
The last 5 years have been a nightmare, and part of the nightmare is understanding that for millions of Americans the nightmare has been going on our whole lives.

Anybody who doesn't understand why we might be furious about that just doesn't want to understand.
Rage is an appropriate response to atrocity and cruelty.

Calm civility is a horrifying response to atrocity and cruelty.

And it's really that simple.
Current elected officials enabling this nightmare have enabled ongoing horror. Their names should become anathema. They should be investigated where suspected of crime; where suspected, charged; when charged, tried.

This isn't polite. Politeness isn't called for.
Even if not found guilty of crime they should not be welcome in polite society.

To not understand why this should be is to decide not to understand.
