      Yeah, but it’s a new fear or a new spin on some old one every other week. Conservative media tries out a new panic pretty regularly to see what gets bites. The democrats have basically been on “Trump is our Hitler” for more or less eight years. At least, that’s what they say with their mouths, though not with their actions. It might have had a little more sticking power of they’d showed that they took at serious as they want us to, but as it stands, that car is pretty much out of gas.

          What do you want from me, exactly? You just can’t keep people afraid of the same thing forever. People stopped paying attention to the terror threat level just three years after 9/11, which the entire country agreed was bad. That’s why their secret sauce is to keep rotating in new panics.
