For decades the right wing had no problem crapping all over the idea of personal autonomy in the form of anti-abortion legislation; now, suddenly, when they are in the cross hairs, they cast themselves as champions of personal freedom? How cute.
Equally hilarious are their late-to-the-party protestations regarding censorship. They were fine with censorship when it applied to those criticizing Israel's illegal occupation; but now that their Orange Man is the target, they've been forced to reconsider.
That's why as dangerous as the faux-left is now, the right are equally unreliable guardians of our rights. Partisanship is poison. Don't swallow it.
If I were swallowing it, I would have voted for Biden in the last election. I did not. I'm pointing out that the right wing has a lousy track record when it comes to the current debate regarding personal autonomy and censorship, and so any real solution lies outside the right/left divide that dominates so much political discourse.
While I would agree that the right wing have some ideological discrepancies. However, so does the purported left wing, especially considering most are swallowing the MSM narrative regarding Covid and are skewering our civil liberties to do so.
I'm just glad to see the right wing alerted to the tyrannical policies of our government....something that they ridiculed when OWS were out in the streets. Now, they are experiencing what we did.
Sometimes it takes awhile to change your perspective, just glad now both Occupy and the right wing have solidarity.
I align with ideas I find meritorious and care not which wing they supposedly come from. If those on the right are serious about real personal freedom and not simply wallowing in the conditional hypocrisy I outlined above, then I'm delighted. I didn't see it in Trump, and I haven't seen it in congress. The left -- and I hate to even call our liberal political figures that -- are acting like the authoritarian right of two or three decades ago, yelling for censorship and more authoritarian rule. I detest it and will never vote for it. So I find myself outside of both of these simplistically labeled wings.
Instead of wings I feel a more accurate lens is class -- elites vs. the rest of us, which has pretty much been what all the fighting's been about since the first king raised an army to guard the grain.
So, yes, partisanship is poison, and I'm waiting for more people to recognize this fact.

On one hand you bash the right wing......and then on the other hand you claim "partisanship is poison." You are swallowing it, my dear.
