The operating principle of the conservative movement seems to be to cause the most people the most amount of stress. We can never relax around these folks because they are always issuing crazy threats, making impossible demands, and creating one crisis after another. They’ve been trapped for weeks, with no dignified way out, but they keep clawing at us maniacally in an effort to get a pound of our flesh. They remind me of a badger trapped in a burlap bag. They can’t get out, but they can wound anyone who gets near them.
Eventually, they will wear themselves out. In the meantime, my advice is to keep your distance from all their thrashing about. It’s not good for your mental health to pay too close attention to their internal struggle.
