But at some point, I think you do have to defend the principle that we have to tolerate a certain amount of even the very worst things if we want to have meaningful civil liberties. This is not how I’d articulate it. We tolerate some terrible things because trying to stop them would be even worse. There are really bad people out there. Unfortunately those bad people can also run for office and/or get hired on to 3 letter agencies. A pedophile with a camera is less dangerous than a senator without the 4th amendment. A racist on social media is less dangerous than a president without the first amendment. Fascism doesn’t happen because you elect a fascist president. The seeds of fascism had to be sown long before that. Fascism is the result of eroding protections designed to prevent a leader from over-reaching. The path to fascism is paved in good intentions.
