This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law.

1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off.
2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off.
It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.
