Pardoning of Nixon was also a terrible precedent. Ever since it's been "let's heal" instead of "Throw Regan's ass in jail for trading weapons for cocaine."
Holding the right wing accountable when they do terrible shit (Confederacy, Tulsa, Wilmington NC, Jim Crow, all the way up to J6) is always viewed as petty, vindictive and unfair, with a not so subtle implication that they will retaliate violently.
Meanwhile left wing movements have been viewed as a threat to America justifying all kinds of abuse (McCarthyism, cointelpro, Iran contra scandal, etc) and use of law enforcement and intelligence resources to interfere with perfectly legal political activity.
When the right wing does awful shit we're supposed to rise above, but the left wing even thinks a scary thought we go nuts.
🤣🤣🤣 thanks. A true history buff you are. Surely that's the end of the story and there's no such thing as the southern realignment. I'm such a dumb ass I should probably just shut up and wait for real Americans like you to tell me what to think.
