It does, but both side's followers are blind to it when their side does it. Or they think it's ok for their side to do it. I'm not sure which is scarier
You’re painting with an awfully broad brush, omitting both the magnitude of the difference and far overstating the homogeneity of one of those sides.
Agreed, the pandemic authoritarianism was far more invasive, with non-compliance being life ruining for many, so I don't think it's really comparable to the current administrations clownish floundering.
Acting like they are the same shamefully diminishes the previous administrations actions, which is particularly dangerous since their documented suppression of the now widely accepted lab leak theory has resulted in little action to prevent further illegal gain of function research. Its inevitable we will face yet another worldwide pandemic in the next decade or so while this careless research continues without proper safety controls or scrutiny.

Wikipedia is not owned by “The Democrats.” Its editors are a pretty diverse and esoteric bunch.
I'm demonstrably not, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make the above commentary. But even if I was it would be irrelevant. It wouldn't cause both sides of this to be comparable, and neither does virtue signaling being above partisanship.
