How we do things matters. The rule of law and due process are important too, a strongman can’t just ignore those, muscle people around to their benefit, and pay lip service to leftist ideals to win over the left.
- eddythompson80 1y agoOk.. not really sure what that has to do with what I said. I mentioned nothing about "how we do things". I was only referring to arguments we use for or against things. It's fine to disagree with an action because of "how they are/were done". It's an argument that has thorns of its own, but, again, has nothing to do with what I said.
- mattnewton 1y agoYour argument seemed to boil down to leftists being against things they previously were for, with the implications it's because the right is supporting it. The way I see it that isn't what is happening. Liberals and leftists are alarmed at the rise of authoritarianism and the decay of the law.
- eddythompson80 1y agoNone of what I mentioned has anything to do with the rise of authoritarianism nor the decay of law
- mattnewton 1y agoExactly, I am offering an alternative explanation for what you are observing than the explanation you provided.
