This has kinda been the D vs R playbook as long as I've been able to recall. Dems enforce their shitty ideologies via ridiculous big govt overreach and blatantly unconstitutional "for your own good" ploys. Then every 4-8 years when a Republican gets back into office the Democrats grab the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and hold them to their chests and start screaming bloody murder, MUH CONSTITUTION!! MUH FREEDOMS!! MUH LAWS!!! when the Republican makes a move to reverse any shitty policies they put in place. Then they just "Aw shucks, I guess we as a society have to just accept """Progress""" til the next Dem gets in office and pulls the same shit.
All this Critical Race Theory shit, this DEI shit, this LGBT+ shit has been historically unpopular at the polls, but the Democrats have been using the power of Government funding to shove it down our Nation's throats for over a decade now, and suddenly now that it's being pulled back using the same means, its being touted as "DANGEROUS" and "SCARY" and "OVERREACH".
Hell how much of this shit with illegal immigration has been blatantly unconstitutional, ignoring our laws, our National Sovereignty, refusing to cooperate with State, Local and Federal Law Enforcement, milking taxpayers for billions to take care of illegals without so much as a vote casted?
