The difference with this government is that they’re doing things I vehemently oppose. The notwithstanding clause use is so disgusting, and now they’ve used it twice. Congratulations on taking away rights from a vulnerable population. It’s actually infuriating!

And on the same day they’re putting in two-tier healthcare, which I can’t even put into words how opposed I am to this. Like I might be more upset with this government on this day than any other I can remember.

Just incredibly abhorrent and we can’t take them down soon enough.
Jon Stewart put it pretty well in the early weeks of Trump's 2nd term. Paraphrasing:

Don't get outraged at every little thing the government does that you disagree with, it softens the impact of things that require actual outrage.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to be outraged.

Remember the days when we were appalled at things like what politicians billed the taxpayers for travel expenses? Man, those were the days.
