"Public Shaming Feels Good. That’s No Reason to Do It."

That's true, but this camp is, so feeling good is a bonus.



"It’s less a result of a breakdown in civility than a breakdown of democracy."

I don't think so; it's because of the baby jails. We've been more or less civil up until now. AFAIK, there wasn't much public harassment of administration officials (except Pruitt, maybe) until family separation and internment camps became an issue.
I don't want to see it done routinely, followed by tit-for-tat wars during the next administration, but this is a special case, and they need to be shamed.
