@CotlerWunsh Agreed. And we have waived those responsibilities in favor of the notion that government can cure all our ills if we just sacrifice those rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro

But again, if you believe that you are the sole repository of virtue -- and that the government should impose that virtue from the top down, not rooted in subsidiarity -- then you are likely to demand that all obstacles, including democratic norms, be removed. — PolitiTweet.org

There are true virtues worth embodying via the federal government. But those virtues must be liberty-oriented, directed against the greatest threat to actual virtue: not the individual or local community, but the federal government itself. Subsidiarity is key. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro

In short, when you believe that power can fix everything and that virtue is the goal of government, you're going to orient away from the sort of democratic pluralism that undergirds the requirement for liberty. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro

This is a phenomenon with cross-partisan appeal, although it doesn't fall evenly across the political spectrum. But this phenomenon isn't rooted chiefly in antagonism thanks to perceived threat. It's simply rooted in utopianism and reliance on government as that messianic power. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro

Because of our new definition of humanity -- malleable human beings unburdened by any outside forces, ranging from circumstance to even biology -- we believe that granting power to the Right Person fixes everything. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro

Because of the founding fathers' accurate vision of humanity, they saw subsidiarity, checks and balances, and enumerated powers as key to protecting the liberty required by epistemic humility about most areas of life. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro

The founding fathers believed, correctly, that humans were capable of great things, but were also venal, ambitious, foolish and shortsighted -- neither angels nor devils. But now we believe that the right human beings can be angels, if only we shift our social structures. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro

So if political polarization isn't the reason we're willing to overthrow elections and jettison checks and balances, what is? I'd suggest that it has to do with our shifting attitudes toward human nature and political power. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro

This piece is fascinating. The data it cites suggest that political polarization per se isn't the cause of anti-democratic attitudes among Americans -- that we're not willing to overthrow checks and balances because we hate our neighbors. https://t.co/prKwbWEeQR — PolitiTweet.org
