It apparently does when one major party is full of destructionists who have had much success in politicizing everything, including a lot of what used to just be basic core American values.
Sorry, you can't both sides this. Controlled opposition and failing to push substantive reforms due to a few "centrists" is not the same as policies that openly seek to destroy our cherished idea of Constitutionally-limited government and economic position of world leadership.
This sounds like outright denial to me. There are already many red lines that have been crossed, and plainly stated intentions to go much further. I know it's comforting to write off the red lines as isolated incidents, and the statements as harmless political trolling. But at this point its utter foolishness - there are hard-earned reasons why we reaffirm societal values rather than trashing them.
