> So when the dumbasses in charge of the federal government want to violate the human rights of a foreigner, that really just means they don’t view it as a human right in the first place. With the current U.S. president, nothing is seemingly foundational; it’s transactional and personal. Before either of his terms in office, these characteristics were in clear view throughout his adult life. Even close family members were subject to transactional evaluation. Small wonder that human rights are so contingent. If there is a moral bedrock on which he can organize his policies and actions, it is inapparent.
