One does not need to apologize for having raw nerves in this political climate. That's understandable. It's hair trigger word association and bad faith presumptions of complicity with "the other" for reasons as shallow as expressing dissent without real substance or political vigor that some seem to be growing fatigued with. I won't sit here and promulgate respectability politics just say that when one ignores their own political baggage and hubris it passively signals to everyone watching it's fair game for them to do so as well. And the noise just gets louder as a result.
