There is no more hostile environment to liberty than a regime of permanent crisis, one alleged national security emergency flowing directly into the next, each new supposed threat justifying, it is alleged, exciting new restrictions and limitations of the freedom to move, gather, speak, or even think.
And NeverTrump -- the GOPe Wing of the Insider DC Uniparty -- has justified, defended, cheered on and demanded every new crackdown on Americans' former freedoms.
Does anyone feel free any longer?
Does anyone imagine that the ruling class will ever cede back to us our freedoms? Freedoms we might use in dangerous ways, such as, to challenge or contradict the claims of the ruling class?
