I guess I need to add that pundits have to get out of a normal democracy mindset too.
It’s been a decade of democratic backsliding, and nearly a year of rapid descent. Writing as if it’s 2013 or 1995 is out of touch. Either ”I have my head in the sand” or “I like this but won’t say so directly.”

Pro tip for STEM students:
Professors do have office hours and you should use them.
You should not, however, expect professors to set up an entire lab for you during office hours because you missed lab, and you didn’t bother to communicate with us.
Don’t abuse leniency. We are very overworked.
