The problem I have with the meek dealings with the insurrection have long been problems at the heart of American society. The problem is you, the moderate. This has been put better into words before, better than I can express it. Here is a historic source that puts it right. I modify the source to match todays expression of the problem, although the original problem remains unresolved (because of you):
https://letterfromjail.com/
“I had hoped that the [liberal] moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the [liberal] moderate would understand that the present tension in the [USA] is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the [citizen] passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.”
I am saying that the extremists are not the problem, they are the symptom. You are the problem. As you always have been. You refuse to change because the current problems somehow suit your purpose. You like it just how it is.
The words in square bracket are the ones I adjusted to the current situation.
Some other recent generation immigrant put the problem eloquently in another context:
