    It seems like everyone these days, agrees with Trump’s vision of what the law should look like. My side gets a pass…and everyone I think is “bad”, gets their rights taken away.

    This is not what’s happening here. Nobody (on the left) is giving any side a “pass”. What the fuck is this strawman?

      I’m talking about selectively assigning who gets their rights protected, and who doesn’t. Who deserves due process, and who doesn’t. The only way any of this can be considered “legitimate” is if it applies to everyone…not just the ones you think “deserve it”.

      A lot of people gave Biden and Obama a pass when they were deporting, torturing and bombing innocent people. Some people seem to think that those things are only bad when the Red Team is doing it.

        This is not even close to the same thing, and you’re either being ignorant or disingenuous by suggesting they are.

          There’s a difference of scale, but they still did those things. You are still right here, right now, giving them a “pass”.
