    Conservatives are using this as an excuse to purge.

    They can do it because they know if the pendulum swings back, there will be absolutely no retribution. Right wing commentators will broadcast their support for political violence and nothing will be done because the left will say “free speech”.

    The left is weak.

        Yeah it’s kind of a shame. The centre is obviously mostly right about most things, but nobody really gets fired up about moderate positions. “Legalise euthanasia! But only in certain conditions and with strong safeguards!”, “Ban ICE cars! But we probably are still going to need oil for plastic and aviation fuel.” Yeah probably not going to get many people at my protests.
