Jonah Goldberg: Republicans won’t let hypocrisy get in the way of a little tyranny
Americans have always been quick to sense the faintest whiff of tyranny, a trait Edmund Burke observed long before the nation was born. That instinct once served as a safeguard, but it now feeds a cycle where each party excuses its own violations by saying the other side the other “did it first.” Recent moves by President Trump — deploying troops, punishing critics, bending rules — show how far that cycle can go. What’s slipping away is the agreement that the rules must apply to everyone, no matter who’s in power. If any of that rings true for what you’re seeing, the rest of this commentary from Jonah Goldberg is worth a read.
