      This debate is very clarifying. In particular, @RichLowry’s admission that Trump is functionally illiberal, but an illiberal Republican is still better than a Democrat, is this political era in a nutshell, and one of the greatest threats our system faces. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/11/22/20952353/trump-nationalism-america-first-rich-lowry …

      Folks on Twitter have focused on what I say about Trump and Democrats, but this line in that passage was left on the cutting room floor: “Who's going to do more long-term harm and harm to the institutions of the country?”

      It’s not as though the Left has been scared straight in the Trump era into a rigorous constitutionalism, or Elizabeth Warren wouldn’t have gotten so much traction or sympathetic press coverage prior to her Medicare for All debacle 5/

          And it’s relevant here that almost no one on the center-left objected to Obama’s “pen and phone” governance, or his unilateral re-writing of immigration law 7/

          The Left still believes in a “living Constitution” that is an infinitely malleable means of law-making from the judiciary and an administrative state unmoored from traditional constitutional constraints 8/

          Would it really be so hard for progressives to say of Obama’s unilateral immig law, “I support the goal, but he doesn’t have the authority,” or to say of much of what Trump has done or said, “He has the legal or constitutional authority, but he shouldn’t have done it”? 9/

          But the Left, as a general matter, doesn’t think this way. Again, if it did, it would be appalled that Elizabeth Warren is running on a program dismissive of constitutional and legal constraints. It’s not 10/

          Finally, judges aren’t everything and they don’t erase Trump’s flaws but because he is allied with the conservative legal movement, he is nominating judges who will apply an originalist understanding of the Constitution for a generation and when he’s long gone END/

          The implication, that the right is more concerned with a rigourous adherence to the constitution, is silly at this point.

          Zero is still greater than negative one zillion. They’re not actively hostile to every aspect of the constitution like the democrats. Republicans are slovenly, careless, incompetent hacks, but at least they’re not actively totalitarian like the democrats are.

          Honestly just kind of pathetic at this point. Yeah sure the wealth tax that probabaly won't pass is way shittier than the guy who can't finish a sentence. The guy who has literally said he can basically do whatever he wants. You love him. You love every part of him. Admit it

          I hate him. I resent the fact that he’s my only realistic option to oppose the naked totalitarianism of the democrats. But I’ll still vote for the uncouth, personally pettily-corrupt blowhard over the neo-bolsheviks on the left, thanks.
