I firmly believe that the insurrection at the Capitol is only the second most damning indictment of the trajectory of American society today. The first is the much more hushed betrayal of the children. https://twitter.com/DKThomp/status/1354769979510566917
There are many similarities. The first exposed the rot of our national politics, the second a much deeper dysfunction at the local level and across institutions.
The first exposed the Right's inability to control the demons it unleashed, the second highlights the progressive urban Left's utter paralysis when confronted with real-world problems involving painful trade-offs.
The first highlighted gruesome distortions of our ideals, the second shows a moral compass on the fritz.
The combined picture shows that our troubles run deeper and are more widely shared across segments of society than we like to acknowledge. Our #1 responsibility as a society is to care for our children. For a year they've been an afterthought. What are we doing?
