“The current version of Coyote’s Law is something like this: Don’t give the government a power that you would not like your worst political enemy to wield. The reason for this should be obvious — unless you intend to be the last one in power, ie your goal is to initiate a totalitarian coup with yourself left in charge — then in the normal course of the political cycle in democratic countries, your group will eventually be out of power and your hated political enemies ensconced in your place. From today’s example below, it appears that this is NOT obvious to many politicians. … The recent chaotic transition to the Trump Administration would, in a rational world, give a lot of opposing politicians second thoughts about setting precedents and creating powers that were then ready for Trump to wield and expand.” (03/06/25)
