Hypocrisy
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.
Posers, the lot of them
We “refuse to be silent any longer”: magic as self-care after Kavanaugh
They don't want justice. The want attention. They don't know the least little thing about magick. But they know how to put on a show.
Exactly what is it that either Trump or Kavanaugh have done to threaten them?
It all boils down to putting conservative judges on the bench. Eighty-four so far.
The implications are terrifying. It means that most progressives know that they only way they can have a progressive society is by controlling the judiciary. Not by getting people elected, but by having a moral authority with the final say.
I don't like conservatives either. But the actions of the progressives are driving me away.
And progressives still can't point to one thing that has been done and say, "Look, here is the threat!"
It's about who is on the bench. Not about what was said. Not about what was done. But about who sits in judgement.
That is tyranny.
