Balko is a bad-faith actor, at least of late.

It's obvious that Sullivan is warning of an undesirable consequence, not endorsing it. Their interpretation only makes sense if one assumes that the entire GOP is irredeemably fascist. Ask them if Democrats are socialists and they'll laugh, of course.

Your National Review colleague
@RichLowry has been defending conservative nationalism or national conservatism or whatever the hell he's calling it these days since Trump's election. Surely you can see how that sort of thing is nicely setting the stage for real fascism.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

He also totally ignores that Sullivan was bringing up fascism as A BAD OUTCOME. Saying that disorder leads to fascism, which is why we shouldn't want disorder. And he's right, historically speaking.

Balko does great work on police abuse but I think he’s off the mark here. Police brutality is a bad thing but it’s not the only bad thing, and it’s just blinkered to brush off mass violence.

He's always self-identified as conservative. There have been times when, in tribal terms, he was with Team Blue, but that's obviously not the case in 2020.

Perhaps in the British sense. But 2020 will be the 4th straight time he pulls the lever for the Democratic nominee. Ok, DJT’s no conservative, but choosing Obama over McCain or Romney not the act of an American conservative. At some point, words have to mean things.

Balko is one of the most toxically clueless people that gets a paycheck to think that I can think of.
