I have this Ezra Klein post burned into my brain

Second, fear of violence undermines liberal politics. Just look at America post-9/11. Or after the crime surges of the 70s and 80s and 90s — strongmen politicians win, punitive responses like mass incarceration and warrior policing rise, social trust collapses.

Really though, still trying to find the guy who did this? No self-awareness from the Iraq War-supporter?
