The thing about right-wing politics is that half the time, right-wingers will very justifiably fear government power, but the other half of the time they'll shout about their thin blue lines. Much of the time you'll even see the "no step on snek" and "thin blue line" flags in the same place. Furthermore, a lot of the worry about government overreach is specifically about gun confiscation. While not everyone who owns a gun is a tyrant in waiting, obviously, a lot of people have specific fantasies about seizing power from governments they think are oppressive, while still saying we need to ignore power abuses of local police officers when they aren't targeted at them[0]. I call this mentality "no stop snek from stepping on other snek". It is not an ideology, but the consequence of right-wing outrage perverting that ideology. Right-libertarians do write long rants about police brutality, civil asset forfeiture, and so on; but right-wingers more broadly care solely for identity politics that benefit them. Think about how Louis Rossmann, who is very vaguely right-wing and very libertarian, got shat on by the right-wing half of his audience[2] for interviewing Sam Seder about right-to-repair. What SCOTUS decides will likely be informed by the calculus of who exactly is petitioning them and what benefits the people who put them there. They aren't yet willing to completely shit on the concept of stare decisis[1], but we have to at least present a case to right-wingers that not only civil asset forfeiture is bad and unconstitutional, but that it's bad and unconstitutional in ways that hurt the kinds of people they are sympathetic to. [0] Case in point: the relative lack of outrage in right-wing circles whenever black people get their guns confiscated or are summarily executed for having them [1] The overturn of Roe v. Wade is concerning me, though [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DR1AIsyzZ0&lc=UgxdShhyG9NmAX2LFSh4AaABAg.9Rd3MtKe7xj9Rd4S0tGK1d https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DR1AIsyzZ0&lc=UgxdShhyG9NmA...
