      Well, that totally invalidates all the other examples, clearly.

      Dan, do you really think @AshaRangappa_ can’t come up with dozens of other examples? The whole point was to pick the most well known and furthest right folks.

      One, examples from 20+ years ago tell us nothing. Two, my experience with her does not argue for trusting her mere say-so.

      Dan, she was literally the director of admissions. Having actually interacted with her in person, trust me.

      She's also a hard-shell partisan, which raises all sorts of questions about the fairness of any process she oversaw.

      It amazes me how you cling to the right even as it’s been exposed as the biggest problem we have, while deriding anyone with a hint of liberal instinct.

      My principles are the same as they have always been. And your party is the existential threat to the classical liberal order & rule of written law, has been for a century.

      Republicans have work to do. For Democrats, that work is definitionally impossible. It would require getting rid of the party's ideology, activists, intellectuals, institutions, everyone and everything it has worked for over the past century.

          Seems like your tweet is the definition of the wrong-headed views Republicans have to change.

          If you hang out in leftist circles long enough, you realize that many of them agree with Putin that the demise of the Soviet Union was a bad thing. That's enough to drive many people into the arms of the right.

          Pretty sure I've had a lot of discussions on this subject, and with a few exceptions, I have not met "many" of them who were old-school red-diaper babies to begin with.

          I don’t even know what to say. Democrats are a threat to the rule of law!?!?!?! That hasn’t been true since we shed the Dixiecrats.

          When Democrats resume their pre-Wilson practice of treating the Constitution as a written rule rather than an optional list of suggestions, get back to me.

          I'd argue that the GOP is in the same position (having to dump everything), while having becoming a far worse threat to liberty in a far shorter time. I've decided to stop worrying about hypothetical threats (as I did most of my life) and concentrate on the actual threats.

          It's this unmoderated, mindless hate and fear of the Democratic Party that is the definition of Trumpism. You only differ in the details. You think we are a threat to the rule of law. QAnon thinks we drink baby blood. Tomato tomahto. Not a shred of evidence for either wild claim.

          The difference is we have receipts from the last five years to demonstrate that the GOP is the much greater threat to liberty.
