How the Might Have Fallen .....anyone remember when the ACLU was NOT a Partisan Resistance Group against a Republican Party and actually stood up for Civil Rights??
Probably not -- it was a good long time ago.

All Leftist groups start from a position of championing "freedom" as a means of combatting the power structure that they dislike. Its a means of (socio)political deconstruction so that something else can take power.
See the english Civil War. See the French Revolution. See the American Revolution. See the Russian Communist Revolution. All with very similar themes of social and political freedom.
All political ideologies that have this view are inherently rebellious and inherently wish to tear down an existing power structure. No exceptions.
All of the "Freedom" culture in this nation is essentially a 250 year old echo of the prior (apparently very deep and wide) social propaganda that allowed a rebellion to overtake British rule. However, it has also long served as a bludgeon in the long process of deconstructing the prior much needed social values and habits (that long remained after Millenia of developing them) toward ever greater sociopolitical disintegration. Making way for a new order.
What is also common is that when the rebellion has accomplished its work, the leadership of the "freedom fighters" is often not shy in regard to implementing totalitarian rule. After all, the point was only power change. Not juvenile concepts of lasting and continuing freedom. Only mindless soldiers tend to believe in such things, speaking from the probable perspective of those in charge of such large scale political movements.
The United States might be the only nation that was able to develop a true middle ground government and society that lasted for a little while. "Freezing" freedom in place, so that people could access it, for a couple of hundred years. This likely had as much to do with a practical need to keep this culture alive so that it could defend the borders of the excessively large USA over the centuries in which our population was still relatively low and our war technology limited.
The ACLU similarly started championing a very liberal doctrine of freedoms guaranteed under our constitution. As all grassroots revolutionary movements do.
That the ACLU is moving away from that is only a sign that the prior revolutionary period is completing, the old order has been sufficiently deconstructed, and the new order is ready to tighten its grip on power. And thus clamp down on revolutionary freedom. For them, it is simply no longer required nor desired.
Don't be surprised that the former 'champions of freedom' are okay with that. They only wanted power, this was always their primary mission, and this was always the guaranteed outcome. You have been thoroughly fooled.
The only way to have prevented this would have been for the prior generations to gird their emotional pressure points, see the situation with a steely eye, and have not let these revolutionary organizations and the associated culture take hold further than it already had after the civil war. Communism is the eventual alternative outcome to such a measure (which was missed), and it always was.
