I realize I’m preaching to the crowd, but—

“Lest we inflame Trump supporters further” is another version of wife-beater logic.

No one can actually guarantee what will make these people angry when they’ve built an entire identity around seeking narcissistic grievance: they’ve literally just demonstrated that they are so disengaged from reality that they’ll do something public, ugly, and violent, yet still view themselves as victims.

Just like in a violent marriage, any sense that things have gone back to “normal” just means another unpredictable explosion in the future, and there is no formula for how dangerous the next explosion will be.
