My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue.

I would suggest that a better word than *radicalizing* would be *galvanizing*.

We are not radicals nor will become ones (I hope) but we do now have a new resolve.

Yes! Galvanized. Jolted/shocked to action.

Excellent point.
