re: How did we end up at a place where Republicans and Democrats are policed differently?

The side that is the least tolerant of dissent wins

They pushed the line back inch by inch, then foot by foot, then yard by yard, now it's mile by mile and no one really felt like fighting back 'CuZ I hAs WeRk! Lol

We've routinely put our wants and needs first

They put their religion first, look at all these companies that will jump at the chance to piss on conservative values and people no matter what it does to their wallets. They know that they're going to lose a ton of money when they piss off consumers, sometimes their main customers (Dicks Sporting Goods and Yeti) but they don't care.

ETA: the Left will buck and raise hell at the slightest dissent, the Right (outside of a few incidents such as the Bundy v Bureau of Land Management and 1/6/21) won't lift a finger because it might cost us money or be inconvenient. We need to be looking for a fight every chance we get, we need to get off our 'non-violent and peaceful only' approach and make them more afraid of us than they are of anything else
