Loads of commentators on the left of the political spectrum seem completely unhinged when it comes to former President Trump.
Remember the celebrity philosopher Sam Harris who embarrassed himself by comparing Trump to an asteroid hurtling towards Earth, thereby making just about any response supposedly justified? Did this include justifying the political opposition lying, weaponising the FBI, or anything really…? And then we have our own Troy Bramston who sees Trump as a foundational threat to democracy (somehow missing that it wasn’t Trump as President who was trying to lock up for life his main political opponent on charges two Democrat-voting law profs – Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley – mock).
