Again, "freedom for they/he/she but not for thee". And you wonder why the Democrats are in such terrible, terrible shape. (Well, YOU don't. You probably think they are crushing it.)

Yup, the difference between "liberals" in this sense and non-liberals is having actual material interests at stake that go beyond the legal abstraction of freedom, which is only a means to an end

And honestly one of the major reasons the Democrats are losing is this insistence on fair play and sportsmanship, like this is a game and not a battle for survival The West Wing having Bartlett make sure to appoint a conservative and a liberal to balance the Supreme Court

It's a shitty show partly because of the ridiculous piety about liberal values of free speech (and its successor The Newsroom was even shittier for that reason)

And to circle back around to how the conversation started, JK Rowling trying to dunk on people by being all "I'm extremely rich and I can sue you" was as cringey and repulsive as making your protagonist the President and having him shut people down with "I'm the President"
