We know this - but the people apt to banning Harry Potter books and gunning down doctors do not - for them it has never been this bad.

Has the Harry Potter book banning gotten out of control or has it been an overblown controversy? There are always going to be kooks out there but they aren’t taking over, they aren’t gaining prominence, and they aren’t knocking on my door trying to burn my shit. They’re not just a minority but an extreme minority in this country. In terms of social liberties we’ve been moving steadily left for the last 50 years. Life is getting better, not worse.
