How we do things matters. The rule of law and due process are important too, a strongman can’t just ignore those, muscle people around to their benefit, and pay lip service to leftist ideals to win over the left.

Ok.. not really sure what that has to do with what I said. I mentioned nothing about "how we do things". I was only referring to arguments we use for or against things. It's fine to disagree with an action because of "how they are/were done". It's an argument that has thorns of its own, but, again, has nothing to do with what I said.

Your argument seemed to boil down to leftists being against things they previously were for, with the implications it's because the right is supporting it. The way I see it that isn't what is happening. Liberals and leftists are alarmed at the rise of authoritarianism and the decay of the law.

None of what I mentioned has anything to do with the rise of authoritarianism nor the decay of law
