You’re spot on.
I haven’t heard a clear answer yet about why ‘King Red’ is bad and the prior ‘King Blue’ is any different.

I am confident I should be able to find some equally disturbing atrocities from the other side of the aisle. If you study a little history ( from outside your personal media bubble ). You’ll find that no party has a monopoly on shockingly bad behavior.
You perhaps think that doing so would make Trump's behavior more acceptable to me, but that is untrue and certainly doesn't logically follow. Or maybe you think you can get me with some kind of hypocrisy, but that won't work because I'm not loyal to any political parties, nor am I registered into one. I'll rip on them all.
But if you want to know what I don't appreciate:
* Saying it's allowable to terminate the articles of the Constitution.
* Deliberately trying to undermine confidence in the election system.
* Sending the National Guard to Portland under false pretenses when they're not wanted there.
* Using the DOJ as the president's personal attack organization.
* Deporting people without hearing.
* Arresting people based on their racial backgrounds.
* Controlling what people at universities are allowed to say.
* Controlling what people online are allowed to say.
* Controlling what websites are allowed to publish.
* Controlling Republicans in Congress.
* Potentially controlling SCOTUS. (I don't have evidence, but SCOTUS is behaving irrationally exactly like a corrupt SCOTUS would behave. I would say the exact same thing if the parties were reversed.)
* Controlling what the media is allowed to publish.
* Using Army Talk Orientation Fact Sheet #64 as a playbook.
And I'm sure plenty more.
I'm unaffiliated, but come out strongly on the Constitution and civil liberties. And, frankly, I've never seen it remotely this bad. My gut feel is that we have about a 70% chance of ending up in a Hungary-style dictatorship within 5 years. And my further gut feel is that a very significant portion of conservative America ill-advisedly wants exactly that.
And that has me, a strong proponent of the Constitution and liberty, just a little upset.
Also an evolution of 9/11 patriot act and ndaa expansions... People have been conspiracy theorizing for YEARS about ice expanding authority within 100 miles of the border and doing what they are doing now....even the ACLU ranted about it.... And now that it's all happening for real... The camps and everything.... We are just supposed to ignore it because it bothers your partisan sensibility???
YOU sir. Are a traitor and a coward, who confuses the path of ease and least resistance as the moral choice.that confuses peace with passive submission and slavery.
Give me liberty or give me death. I have full confidence the American people will resolve this. But it is very tragic how much blood and pain itwill cost at this point .
