Hypocrisy
The issue is not that Trump is a terrible president who abuses his power and the trust people have in him.
The people making the biggest noises about the abuse of government power looked the other way when Obamacare was passed. Or when Obama went after journalists. Or when the deep state went after Trump even before he was elected.
It's not about abuse of power. It's not about moral failings.
It's that a Republican is in office.
Tyranny is okay if it's YOUR GUY calling the shots. Your justification changes, but the issue is that someone else is running things. Freedom doesn't matter if it's the right people for the Greater Good.
GFY.
