Humans automatically normalize every situation and adapt to new group norms. As the USA enters its penultimate phase of terminal decline it's inevitable that far-right populist causes triumph while the left focuses on tearing itself apart over inane pseudo-causes such as the use of pronouns and ever-more-obscure edge-cases. People will simply forget the Rittenhouse case by next week because there will be a new action-hero movie, a new Netflix must-watch series, and some new scandal eagerly embraced by the mass media in its endless quest for sensationalism. And so the ratchet toward neofascism inexorably progresses. With a 6:3 far-right majority on the Supreme Court, at least the coming neofascism will be perfectly legal... And doubtless Rittenhouse will secure a seat in the House as a great example of what today's Republican Party has become.
