Trump's (functional) acquittal and Brexit happening on the same day really hammers home the nature of our current crisis: an assault on the rules supposed to constrain and bind ascendant populism from running roughshod over dissenters

It's a crisis of both halves of liberal democracy. It rejects liberalism's protections for minority rights and replaces the democratic ideal of equal citizenship with the populist ideal of a "true" people whose views represent the general will

This is the logic under which the narrow victory of the 2016 referendum is sacrosanct and irreversible, under which Trump cannot be impeached because 63 million voted for him

It's the logic that says pro-European voters in Britain are seditious "remoaners" who can be ignored. It's the logic that Democrats aren't "real Americans," so raw Republican partisanship actually represents authentic patriotism

This essentially authoritarian idea will celebrate two big victories today. And it won't be satisfied.
