I have been able to “read” liberals for some time. One liberal man I know casually and see about twice a week has become sullen and stand-offish. His demeanor is very telling. I know that guy is not happy with all this and that is a good sign.
Sometimes the anecdotal information is very telling, particularly when backed up by some polling data. We may be approaching a tipping point. The only problem is that there has already been a lot of damage, and even after a tipping point there will likely be a lot more.
