Not only does it normalize it but at some point it becomes so predictable that it’s not really even shock and awe anymore. What do we do at that point? Does the cycle start over?

I fear it means that Democracy unravels.
Thanks, Green :)
Powerful and thought-provoking! It leaves you wondering about the next step in this cycle of shock and awe.
Amazing work, Dylan.
