Liberals have rightly focused on the danger President Trump poses to their priorities, but in different ways, Ryan’s agenda is just as great an affront to basic decency as Trump’s. Ryan may avoid some of Trump’s more insensitive and divisive rhetorical moves, but as the president steals headlines with Twitter feuds and alternative facts, the Speaker is quietly moving to undo the very fabric of the American social contract.
