Yes, placing your political views into the realm of moral views places them beyond contestation. For many people, most of their political views boil down to core moral views, including ideas about taxation and carbon.
That’s why it’s not productive to just point at people and say they’re bad because they have bad ideas.
I don't think political views are beyond contestation. People become bad for believing in bad ideas.
And, boy, his ideas were bad.
