Jonathan Bernstein: “The problem with the language of ‘crisis’ is that it simply doesn’t prepare supporters of the republic for the reality of the situation, which is a series of long fights, some high profile and some not, many of which will have unclear and complicated outcomes…”
“The worst temptation — and I think a ‘crisis’ framework encourages it by treating single conflicts as the final battle until it’s over and the next final battle approaches — is for supporters of the republic to declare defeat and even to mock those still fighting.”
