> You want to argue that Joe Biden didn't weaponize every branch of the bureaucracy against Republicans?
He didn't. I don't know why you guys think he did. A lot of those agencies, like the Justice Department, act independently.
It's not like any Republicans were jailed. This is starting to seem less like a legitimate take, and more like a strange fetish for persecution.
For the record, if people like President Trump want to no longer be under the eye of Justice, they should stop doing illegal things. It seems every other American citizen has figured that out. It is shameful our own president has not.
Joe Biden did nothing remotely comparable to what Trump is doing now.
And unlike Trump, Biden faced constant criticism from within his party. He would have faced outrage if he tried to, for example, cancel all federal grants containing the word "conservative" in them.
Meanwhile we're heading towards a future where Trump can deport anyone he doesn't like to an El Salvadorian prison without so much as a trial, regardless of whether they broke any laws. Why doesn't this terrify people on the right?
The people I've talked to just don't believe it can happen to them. They're going through the normal immigration channels, only getting abortions when medically necessary, and limiting their anti-Trump speech to the few quibbles they have here and there. They don't realize that the deportations aren't just the "bad" immigrants, even medically necessary abortions are being stymied by the current administration (with predictable deaths), and that any anti-Trump rhetoric is dangerous.
