I think those who are refusing to tell the truth about our enemies. those who will nonsensically claim that the next jihadi attack is somehow just another random case of workplace violence are making the backlash far more likely. not less likely. Here is how I think the backlash actually happens: The people who are supposed to be laserfocused on defending the American peoplethat is usmouth silly platitudes that show we are either too weak or too confused to keep our people safe. Then. a megalomaniac strongman steps forward and starts screaming about travel bans and deportation and offering promises to keep all of us safe. which to someand I think actually to many more than those of us in this body seem to understandsounds much better than not being protected at all. You want to stop a backlash against American Muslims? Then stop lecturing Americans that they are supposedly stupid to be frightened about jihadis who actually do want to bomb their kids sporting event and instead use your pen and your phone as Commander in Chief to start telling us what your plan is to actually find and kill those who want to do us harm.
