it's an expression of what MLK talked about, negative peace, prioritizing order over justice. just focused down to an incredibly pathetic, petty, cowardly level. so desperate to avoid any sort of necessary conflict and confrontation that "fox news adds 30 extra seconds of yelling" has them panicking

the liberal equivalent to "angry leftist who can't make a phone call without breaking down" is "guy who'd rather hide in a cave than deal with an extra two minutes on fox bashing democrats like how they already do, that they do not even watch themselves"
