I agree. Reading the article, his early political/constitutional positions, I could have easily aligned with. For instance, police should never execute a warrantless search. I can see police officers getting on board with an "oath" to protect such civil liberties.
But where is that slippery slope? How do we identify it? Because clearly (in my opinion), the guy took a good long ride down the slope. How do you go from supporting individual liberties to fascism so quickly? And to be so blind about that transition?
From an American lens, a lot of Americans would be generally appalled by Germany's behavior during WW1 & WW2. But I wonder, how "innocent" the people of Germany slid into these extreme viewpoints without really understanding what was happening. I greatly fear that America is now currently slipping in the same fashion.
