Moments like this are why so many people have a hard time electorally rallying behind the Dems. An “opposition party” that doesn’t even try to establish its opposition to an illegal and widely unpopular war. Nothing beyond some isolated rhetorical gestures. That’s not opposition.

The streets should be filled with protests against the war on Iran - they’re quiet instead. For years, the antiwar movement in this country has been worn down - piece by piece, argument by argument, until even its language was made suspect. But in these last three years, something more deliberate has taken hold: to be anti-war now is to be marked; it’s to risk deportation, violence, abduction and imprisonment. And we watched it happen: we watched students - who have always been the conscience of any movement - be met not only with the force of the state, but with the violent compliance of the institutions meant to protect them. Those who protested genocide - who named the most grotesque form of inequality for what it is - were made into harbingers of hate and violence. And when they were not being denounced, they were being policed by those who claimed mutual sympathies. And that’s why there’s a fatigue - there was a repression that was so constant, so vast and so successful that all it left were fragments. Antiwar organizations and organizers are still out here, still organizing, still demanding - but the bodies just aren’t there because Americans ultimately are an obedient, distracted nation.
