When the republicans came into power from 2016-2020, they did not use the IRS to harass left-wing groups, which both Obama and Biden did.
We can't pretend every party is equal. Things change, and parties obviously violate their principles (just look at the democratic party!), but when one party is disproportionately engaging in distortion and authoritarianism, they deserve the scorn heaped on them.
This was true when Bush was enacting the patriot act against the GOP. And it's true today against the dems.
Sorry, I'm not going to buy into 'everyone's the same mentality'. This is the same dribble the republicans were telling me during the Bush years -- Oh the democrats will take away your freedoms if they were in power. Well, I'm sure that's true, but actually in 2002, it was the GOP. Not going to pretend.
