Just saying “professional finger wavers” is another way of saying anyone who tells me I can’t say and do whatever I want even when the group I am part of has an obvious history of transgressive, self-indulgent behaviour. To most it’s saying things that are politically incorrect and ideas of “personal freedoms” like owning and displaying as many guns as you can afford. But this creates a pool of discontent that has been taken by political operatives, turned into a movement and aimed at the normal function of democracy, creating a space for overturning not just political norms but American democracy itself.
