After hearing from exactly the sort of chucklehead that this post is about, I have deleted the chucklehead's comments and instituted a new policy: comments may be left by paying subscribers only, even on free posts like this one. If "Gen. Chang" wishes to berate me here, he is going to have to pay for the privilege. In the meantime, he has received a dishonorable discharge.

Probably the most regrettable transition I've seen in the Trump era was Glenn Reynold's transtiton from a man of the libertarian right to an ardent and uncritical supporter of Donald Trump. Winning, it turned out, was everything.

The classic essay on the problem you raise -- and one ironically suggested by Professor Reynolds, pre-Trump -- is "Who Goes Nazi?" by Dorothy Thompson, Harper's, August 1941.
