I think it’s actually a part of the plan. When the opposite party gains power in 4 years and does the same thing, you get to call them tyrants then, too. Clearly no one cares about being hypocritical anymore. All that matters is winning the media outrage battle of the moment.
Unfortunately it won’t be the same. The precedent will have been set and they’ll be able to ratchet it up to a new level. It’s going to be bad and I’m disgusted by how many people in here are cheering it on when it’s their side doing the kicking. Doxing, canceling, Twitter hate mobs, riot-protests, attacks on journalists, politically motivated violence. All becoming standard practice. Nobody cares as long as it’s their team scoring a goal. You’d have to be blind not to see where this is leading.
