Ya ever notice that the personalities and political positions of individuals and institutions involved in public life tend to…transform under the crucible of national politics?
Former conservative gatekeepers become current FDR stans. Think tanks dedicated to "the principles of the American Founding" devolve into anti-Enlightenment troll farms. Political parties organized around libertarianism get weak in the knees around tariff-loving executive-power junkies and illiberal public-health conspiracists.
