I've discovered that it's not merely pro-Trumpers who are targets. I've been opposed to him since he first came to prominence in the 1970s and he hasn't changed anything but his party affiliation. When I criticized Democrat Trump I was attacked. Funny.

Today, I write defending constitutional rights and calling out precedents with potentially catastrophic consequences. It doesn't matter that I never support Trump; I'm accused of supporting him because I am insufficiently zealous in calling for his arrest and execution. Precedents are powerful, and we now have precedents that perjury is justified if the accused is on the wrong side of an issue, that weaponizing government is justified by being on the correct side of history, that an administration plotting the overthrow of its successor is acceptable, that fabricating evidence is acceptable, that spying on reporters is righteous, that using the tax code to silence dissent is admirable, and the list goes on.

Harry Reid established precedent doing away with almost all rights of the minority in the Senate, which wound up leaving Democrats in the hole. Andrew Johnson was impeached for violating an unconstitutional act of congress, but the real reason was his refusal to cooperate with the Radical Republicans and use Reconstruction to completely destroy all vestiges of the Democratic Party, and to reduce the entire South to a state of ruin from which it could never recover. That's the precedent now being used by the authoritarian left in efforts to abolish dissent. This is dangerous stuff.
