It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cTo be clear,\u201d Hasan concluded, \u201cwith less than a week out from the most consequential election of our lifetimes, with genocide on the ballot, and, yes, fascism plus genocide on the ballot, I\u2019m in no mood to explain myself to the racists and bullies.
