I honestly think the way to grab the left edge of the Overton window and pull it to a more reasonable place is for politicians to not only take positions like this and then insist that they are a moderate and these are moderate positions. Say it over and over until the media parrots it.
I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.
