Sometimes you come on contact with certain people that just "light up" in the middle of a conversation when they think of some funny or sick-assed quip. So you find yourself waiting for it because you just know it's coming. After 9/11 I'd see people "light up" but the quip never comes. You could almost see them swallowing it. Self censorship extreme. I still haven't heard a lot of jokes or sick remarks about 9/11 and that's very unusual.
I'm thinking the same thing is carrying over to political thought in mainstream America. The Gumint is like a spouse. Don't let them even think you're not onboard.
Cellarites excepted.
