    It’s not a matter of realization but action. “The guy with the enormous constellation of public and private allies plans to do The Big Illegal Thing” doesn’t tell us how we’re supposed to respond.

    There’s a certain “well, people should just do something!!!” attitude that is divorced from reality. Everyone wants everyone else to “do something!!!” for them. Vanishingly few people know what is to be done.
