I won't be playing the game of what-aboutism. Authoritarianism is bad no matter where it appears. It exists on both sides of the political aisle, and it should be rebuked every time, regardless of how prevalent you think it is on your team.

Can you show me an example of a hard-leftist shoving their ideology down someone else's throat?
How about a Hard-Leftist that crafted, then got passed a law that restricts the choices of the hard-right?
Are there numerous cases of Leftists driving through crowds or maybe shooting up a synagogue, that I'm unaware of?
I'm not saying the Left is perfect, but I call bullshit on the equivocation of the 2 sides.
Sure. Last year Biden issued an executive order to enshrine gender transition for children across the entire nation. The vast majority of Americans oppose "gender affirming care" for children. In red states, support is even lower. Biden should have left this up to individuals, parents, and states, but instead decided that his and his party's values should be shoved down the throats of the entire nation.
Here is one mass shooter. Aiden Hale was trans, and killed students and teachers at a christian school. Aiden wrote a manifesto, but the police are yet to release it.
Here is another. Kimbrady Carriker is a BLM and pride supporting, cross-dressing, mass-shooter.
Here is a "non-binary" shooter.
Here is another trans shooter.
And another.
I fully expect you to play the game of "but they're not REEEEEAL leftists," and I don't care. I'm not claiming that both sides are equivalent. I'm saying that authoritarianism is always bad, no matter where it appears.
Joseph “nothing will fundamentally change” Biden is a hard-leftist now?

You would have to ask JasSmith that question.

Solving that problem right now!
