Now go and find how much opposition there was to such laws when the Democrats were in power. Spoiler: it's negative. Whenever Democrats inherit a law like that from Republicans they expand its scope with giddy abandon as the media and their "vote blue no matter who" followers stand by and clap.

My thesis isn't that Democrats write those bills, my thesis is that there is never effective citizen resistance against government overreach when Democrats are in power. People can only be free when they are fighting the government and people only fight Republican governments, ergo we must vote Republican to keep the fight going. Both sides are our enemy, but one side enjoys a much larger cult following that will never attack it.
