@InternetEh Honestly, I could understand their point of view if they were at least consistent. "Hard on crime" except for the pardons of actually guilty (but rich) criminal fraudsters. "The law matters" except when my politicians are violating the law. "The constitution is important" with the same exceptions. They care about legality only as far as they've been told to, otherwise it's considered a bureaucratic impediment. I think it's why right wingers are so successful lately. The left tends to have no qualms eating their own in purity spirals for almost nothing, while the modern right is basically immune to cognitive dissonance and has no trouble uniting behind somebody (even if they are the opposite of what they say their ethics demand), changing their own values to fit any new ones on a whim. Whatever problems the right has, they are easy to unite, trivial to rally, and impossible to sway otherwise in terms of logic and reason.
