Only a fool sticks to something like rules when fighting terrible people who ignore rules.
If you want to feel good about it, stick to moral axioms, like minimizing suffering. It becomes very, very easy to despise Republicans for being literal monsters.
If you want to know where to draw the line on your morals, stick to the paradox of tolerance. Who is being intolerant of whom, and what’s the big deal?

Not sure we’re quite there…yet. Damn if this climb isn’t running out of stairs though.
And it’s a hell of a fall when we take that last step.
