I don’t understand how these MAGA Morons can’t figure out that these laws they want are two-edged swords. If they can use it against normal people, then normal people can use it against them, too.
That’s because you still think the system will act fairly, it won’t. If you hit someone the administration likes, you’re in trouble, if you someone they don’t like, you’re a hero.
There’s never been any intentions of fairness from the republicans, rules for thee not for me.
This is the number one flaw with the “rule of law” and State authority structure. The enforcement of the law always comes down to how the ruling body of authority, the State and its representatives, interpret the laws. It is why they are intentionally written to be vague, to allow a court wiggle room in how to apply the letter of a law to a unique situation, and many in fact contradict each other if argued a certain way.
If the system becomes corrupted, which it often is due to how top-down power attracts people who seek control over others, those vagaries can be used as weapons against those who oppose their power and to systematically exploit marginalized people.
That works great as long as Right-wingers stay in power. They have this overwhelming arrogance that tells them they will NEVER leave office, but then they always manage to be so terrible at governing that they eventually get kicked out. Then all those oppressive laws can be used against them, if Dems could muster up any sense of courage.
Maga has gotten the green light that rules don’t apply to them especially after j6 pardons. If someone runs over a maga idiot you can guarantee courts will throw the book at the driver. Rules for the and not for me.
Issue is, they don’t want equal laws for all. They want a hierarchical system, where people upper the ladder have more rights and more protections, because “it worked well for the kings”. If they want to conform to this rule of reactionary movements, they will likely make it so, that they’ll specify “illegal protests” somewhere…

Right, when the Democrats are in power they’re afraid of Republicans, when the Republicans are in power they’re afraid of nothing
