That’s a BS “both sides-ism” that can result in people shrugging off the absolute destruction of the operational norms. I wouldn’t argue that the two primary parties are heading in the same direction of fascism. However, there’s a significant difference between the gleeful sprinting towards it by the right as compared to the Dems dragging their feet and enjoying the scenery.
While the 100 year result might be the same if there isn’t systemic change, one side (primarily by inaction) will provide more time to correct course before hitting the iceberg
Historically, the intelligence agencies have opposed leftism and equality movements, and played with kids gloves where right wing is concerned. This is because right wing policies tend to be backed by the elite, who butter the bread of the agencies.
Agree 100% and it has always been frustrating to see right wing groups get a pass for what boils down to “mild” terrorism. I just think that, given the current US political climate, it’s detrimental to lump the parties together. I’m only a defender of the Dem Party when in contrast to the GOP. Otherwise there’s a litany of grievances I’d aim at them.
New boss same as old bosses. The intelligence agencies have always been the servant of fascism.

This is not business as usual
