It's all theater. In the post-modern age, one demonstrates one’s commitment to a particular truth or cause through performance. The caterwauling on social media and television is performance designed both to signal one’s commitment to a supposed truth and also identify the heretics who choose not to perform.

Now THIS...THIS is true. It's political theater. It's not an indictment, nor a trial, let alone a show trial.

If folks want to caterwaul on social media about how the theater is unfair, biased, or otherwise dipshit, these same folks would at least be forming their minds to accommodate actual information.
