They don't understand and/or don't care at all about abuse of the law or blatant institutional corruption as long as it's used against "the enemy."

They never did. All the so-called adults in the room (except maybe Cuomo) who had vapors about Trump's threat to democracy because he talked smack about (e.g.) cracking down on libel or "Lock Her Up" (even though he didn't do anything about either) are OK with cracking down on Alex Jones and the raid on Mar-a-Lago. It's all who/whom and it never was anything else, and the ones claiming to be the reasonable people are just leftists who managed to keep the foam off their chins.
