Characterized by resignation or acceptance.
If we were having this conversation 10 or 15 years ago, Ezra, we would be having it in a diagnosing a futile illness sort of way. The way that political scientists talked about this problem, the way that activists or people talk about this problem, for decades before was in a very resigned tone. They’re like, this is just the way that it is. It’s over. We’ve lost this. This is going to be a problem for a really long time. That was the posture towards this entire problem.
