I was very hesitant to comment on this, due to the current political climate - but I’m going to do so anyhow, and ask that you keep in mind that while I associate more with the right than the left, I’m an Anarcho-Capitalist. I’m an outsider to both sides, and my intent here is to share an observation because I believe it’s relevant.
From what I’m seeing in right-wing spaces, this is much more than hypocrisy. Much of the right has made the explicit decision to abandon their principles because they believe that the left will ultimately attempt to destroy them when they regain the White House.
Whether that belief is accurate or not, they seem to be willing to give Trump significantly more latitude to suppress the left as a result of it.
- saubeidl 1y agoInterestingly, I have beliefs pretty opposite to yours - Titoist would best describe them. I believe Biden should've aggressively suppressed the right to avoid the exact scenario we now find ourselves in. Imo they are proving that belief right.
- Ancapistani 1y agoInteresting! The right has a very similar corresponding argument; their predictions have also been coming true. I wonder if that’s a side effect of the current political discourse or the intention of whatever or whomever is driving it.
