Good piece, from which our left leaning members could learn a great deal.
I think what it is saying is that both sides are more alike than they will admit. Maybe not in their policy's, but in their actions.
That was the rhetorical angle of the piece, yes. But it was less about equating both sides, than it was about equating the things the left fears the right will do, with what the left does. That’s actually a point I’ve made here on TNCR before, though I zoomed out and generalized. If you want to gauge the limits of someone’s reaction to a perceived threat, just watch how they characterize the threat. They will do at least that much, and also probably a little bit more, just to be on the safe side. When the left perceived an existential threat in Trump and his administration, all options were on the table. There was precious little planning for the cleanup effort to remove that crap from the table. Little thought indeed to whether that stuff would become a permanent table fixture. Sorry lefties but that existential threat card cannot be played for free. You chose not to be adults about a fair election result in 2016, now live in your world. You’re the ones who demonstrably can’t handle it.
