None of it is a distraction. Stop saying it is a distraction. Stop throwing one group or another under the bus because of your own shifting outrage. Let the outrage shift but don't take ANYTHING off the table.

Listening to #SistersinLaw and it occurs to me that the conversation about Trump's enemies tends to speak of them as "left-leaning." That is correct, but "centrists" are just as much in the cross-hairs of Trump and his cronies. Maybe "People in America" is a better term.
