QOTD: Michelle Goldberg

On Chris Hayes last night, I think she spoke for a lot of us:
I think a lot of people feel sort of harassed because this false equivalency that has dominated so much of the coverage of the Trump administration — that basically equates an actor saying a bad word with white nationalists marching around with semi-automatic weapons on their backs and saying ‘oh look, both sides are participating in the death of civility’ — is maddening to people. And it also maddening to people to constantly be told to worry about not just their own actions and the results of their own actions buy how will their actions influence some imaginary Trump voter who they’re trying to win over in the mid-terms.
I think people can’t live like that. They can’t live in the way we’re constantly overly solicitous of the feelings of these alienated white people and contemptuous of the feelings of the majority of the people who find this administration intolerable.
It is intolerable. And it’s getting more intolerable by the day.
