State chapters of the ACLU have usually been a lot better, the rot is more at the top and with the stands the leadership takes
General trend has been that they've become more lopsided due to their donor demographics and having to serve them. Providing one counter example doesn't disprove it.
Is there something I can read that establishes the general trend? I know there was a recent leaked memo, but it seems like a weak way to establish general trend.
