There is almost nothing more obnoxious than self-righteous commentators, conservative or liberal, treating every news development as an existential crisis. In fact, as a conservative, I find it even more irritating when other conservatives engage in this race to register the most indignant social media reaction to breaking stories.

I suspect this shared disdain for politically correct virtue-signaling is what attracted so many conservatives to Milo Yiannopoulos in the first place, and I urge them not to adapt it in their reactions to his disinvitation from the Conservative Political Action Conference.
