> The economist has been freaking out about norms destruction since day 1 of the trump whitehouse.
Isn't this a necessary action in order to preserve any semblance of norms? If no one said anything, we'd just silently drift to a new field, let alone a moved set of goalposts.
Approximately half the country wants the goalposts moved to the next county over and isn't picky about which direction they get moved. While I understand that someone who wants the goalposts right where they are would fight to keep them there it seems like an exercise in futility. It's not like the traditions of how government operates circa 2016 resulted in highly effective government. There's plenty of Trump administration policy things to be be angry about. Destruction of norms is not one of them IMO.
