In reply to BM. BM makes a good point. Another point I will make as moderator is that if commenters want to pursue “your side is worse” political themes, there are literally thousands of other sites that welcome those conversations and can use the clicks. We don’t, so please consider taking Red Team/Blue Team battles elsewhere.

“Where are the multi-year investigations into Hilary Clinton”..

Well, there were those 12+ Benghazi investigations. Were they worth the time and effort?

The solution that the totalitarian socialist societies have developed is simple:

One person, one vote, one time.

But that’s different!

Related is use of the “modified Golden Rule”: Do unto others as they have done unto you. Thus calling the other side’s actions unethical and then doing the same back to them.

It is a great question to ask, but it would seem the other side has no will to use the same legal maneuvers. What conservative cities are labeling Antifa a terrorist organization and threatening action against those associated with it, like happened to the NRA? Where are the multi-year investigations into Hilary Clinton, or the midnight raids (with the media tipped off so they can get prime footage) of associates of liberal politicians? Some of these measures, the "other side" could use today, and yet the other side won't. That would seem to me to be emboldening even those who would stop to question, what if their enemies had the same tools?
