Left-leaning people should understand that we do not engage with fascism in good faith.

My key point here is not substantive. I find Trump's order cruel & terrible, but whether it is constitutional is a separate, crucial question. Left-leaning people like me should assume good faith by those suggesting the order is constitutional & engage with their arguments.

The fascists have learned that it is much more effective to do whatever they want *with vigor* because litigation takes way more time.
There will also always be the centrists/moderates that gaslight with the “it won’t happen because it’s unconstitutional”.
