Ya gotta understand that the Left sees itself as “the government” – the current situation is an aberration, a mistake of some kind – and when “normalcy” re-asserts itself, then “the right people” will again be in charge and all will be right with the world (and all those nasty flyover folks will be just ignored). So this conflict is only a temporary situation, as far as they are concerned.

How can you reason with someone who thinks we’re on a glidepath to a police state and yet their solution is to grant the government a monopoly on force? They are insane.
