Where Does the Tyranny Line Get Drawn?

We shouldn't forget the fact that a group of far right wing MAGA extremists have already taken up arms to attack the United States, perhaps to provoke a civil war they've been jabbering about for a long time, along with individual state secession, another one of their often trumpeted threats. In their January 6th attack on the United States Capitol, these right wing extremists demonstrated their willingness to step away from the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, in order to achieve their own political ends.

What value can be found in the achievement of political ends outside the Constitution, which all candidates for office are sworn to uphold?

That event, and the fact that most of those who support Trump and his extremism do not see it as a crime, as an insurrection, as an attack on the Constitution or as illegal and unconstitutional clearly makes them enemies of the American idealism that is reflected in what we refer to as Constitutional Rule of Law. They have crossed a line into territory that violates the oath those who serve in public office have taken. It's no surprise that they have done so, their leader, Trump, has proven to the whole world that he does not have one ounce of integrity in his character or physical body. He is morally bankrupt and his word is meaningless.

It is not possible to defend the Constitution by violating the Constitution.

Let's be clear, right wing conservatism has abandoned every value it once laid claim to defending, in order to try and hang on to power. Trump embodies every "sin" they once claimed to crusade against, including being a pathological liar about everything he talks about, an adulterer and misogynist, a convicted felony rapist, a business fraud and cheat, who's moral bankruptcy spits in the face and who's denial of respect for his primary constituency's religious beliefs and practice makes them pathetic hypocrites.

The moral high ground, along with the defense of, and fidelity to patriotic American values, and to the Constitution and the rule of law belongs to any part of the left that is opposed to Trump's regime and is doing all it can to resist supporting or enabling it .
