Inside our current age of hyper-partisan politics, nearly everyone takes sides. This is also true with regard towards the Trump presidency, which did not cause this deep division but provides drawn it to the surface, rendering it the dominant paradigm of political debate. Both sides scream lock ’em up, criminalizing political difference rather than producing substantive criticisms of opposing sights. This deeply undemocratic fallacy-that political sins must be investigated and prosecuted as criminal-is an exceedingly dangerous trend. The underlying issue, Alan Dershowitz argues, is that we possess weakened our national commitment to civil liberties. The vibrant center is certainly weakening, with traditional liberalism and conservatism getting further apart-not simply in approach but also within their respect for Constitutional norms. And unless we as a country begin to target once again on what unites us instead of on what divides us, America may not survive another decade.
