This whole episode has really driven the point home that people are fundamentally tribal - and much of what you believe and feel is right/wrong is determined by which position the 'other' groups are taking. For instance, Glenn Greenwald mentioned that liberals circa 2001 were intensely worried about the No-Fly list, but now people are cheering that MAGA protestors are being put on it with no due process. I've also seen conservatives abandon the idea that private companies should be able to refuse services based on ideology. It's fascinating how malleable people's beliefs can be.
