But it makes me curious to ask freepers about immunity in reverse.

Since you bring up immunity, consider this line from Hanson's article:

It sought to indict, impeach, and remove a sitting president, as the ancien régime rushed to break federal law with assumed ethical exemption — tapping, surveilling, lying, and leaking with impunity, assured that supposedly morally superior ends justified any means necessary to achieve them.

"Assumed ethical exemption" for "morally superior ends."

That describes everything about liberalism, from how the MSM twists the news without consequence to how judges overreach on rulings that change law.

Rats... I finished too soon.

Liberals have granted themselves a blanket immunity for their actions. It's what today's Limbaugh caller coined as "liberal privilege."

So the question is, how do you break these people out of their bubble?

We talk about members of the MSM being insulated in a liberal bubble and not realizing how far their moral relativism has been skewed and perverted by isolated feedback, much like how members of a cult would not realize how much a disconnect from cultural norms and morals they have developed, and the same is probably even more true for those deep within the bureaucracies.

But how do you force them to get re-immersed into exposure to actual culture and population where they will be shocked back into reality and everyday common sense morals?
I don’t think you can.

Frankly, it seems to me that they need to start seeing the members of their peer ranks as well as those at the top held responsible for allowing a perverted sense of morality to distort their decisions, and it will wake them up to seeking out a more realistic perspective.

But the problem I brought up about offering a kindof immunity is the deadlock that seems to have no end. The real strategists and decision makers in the deep state appear to have entrenched themselves in support of each other and are unwilling to relent, even if their hopes and goals of sinking Trump are long since diminishing. It’s more about promoting the power stalemate to protect themselves, and if we ever want to get a functioning government back again, perhaps we need to offer concessions and protections as a part of an exit strategy for them.
