I think that reading well and deeply makes you a more interesting person, gives you a language to speak with, and allows you to see things that might otherwise be missed. Deep interest in anything can do this, but some traditions are richer and wider than others.

"Well, Liberals seem to be pretty timid about engaging in violence. Surely, this is moral cowardice and not a genuine belief that life is sacred that, once the olive branch is taken and thrown into a fire, can turn into fiery validation."

If I may paraphrase film!Aragorn, 'Open tyranny is upon you, whether you would risk it or not.'
It has not won, but neither is it 'coming.' It is upon us, and the only question that remains is what to do about it - and how to break the inertia of those hoping it won't come just yet.

People going "America was always fascist" or "it's been like this since the 1980s" or making related claims don't seem to realize it, but they're telling everyone that nothing different is happening, nothing worse than usual, so if you weren't up in arms about eg 2013, you shouldn't be now either.

So from our perspective, are there a lot of challenges to digging out of this mess and getting our democracy running effectively again? Yes. Even if we get these guys out, they'll have broken a lot.
But they're even further away from victory. They are not inevitable, do not make them so.

We're already seeing grand juries refuse to indict and regular juries refuse to convict because of their shoddy evidence and transparent political aims. Keep doing that.
