Many libertarians were justifiably upset by executive overreach through the abuse of emergency powers during the lockdown response to covid. Many of those same libertarians will now conveniently ignore Trump abusing emergency powers: you can bank on it.

Let the rationalizations begin...

The inevitable result of a tax and spend government philosophy is that they frontload the spending and budgeted future spending and then cry poor to justify more taxes. Buckle up Maryland, even higher taxes are on their way. Spending is the problem.
