My three-year-old was reading the Atlantic when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why did the nice tattoo man send national security secrets to a reporter?" And when I told her "Because it was 11 am and he was four gin-and-tonics deep," she started crying.

These systems have strict "As needed access" where users are only granted access when absolutely necessary to perform their job duties.

Data shows Trump won in part based on support from low info voters. IOW, people have ALREADY tuned out. Biden and Harris piled up a legislative record unrivaled since LBJ and it did not matter in the least. Policy bores the media & the public doesn't care.
What worries me is that most Americans will simply ignore what is being done in Washington over the next couple of years. They'll turn on the football game, watch an episode of the Real Housewives of Someplace, and ignore it as fundamental freedoms and crucial institutions are carved away.
