Do you remember when the Democrat Party arrested Trump? Do you remember when they put J6 people in prison in solitary confinement for a year? Do you remember when they locked you in your house for a year? Do you remember when they fired people from the military for not having forced medical procedures?
"yeah but I agreed with those"
> Do you remember when the Democrat Party arrested Trump?
No, because so far as I know the Democrat Party didn't arrest him.
The State of Georgia arrested him, after a grand jury indicted him on charges of election racketeering, if that's what you have in mind?
> Do you remember when they put J6 people in prison in solitary confinement for a year?
Nope. Tried looking, I find stories about 4 months?
But sure, let's say that's a distinction without a difference. How is this "go full hog"? It's not like solitary confinement is all that rare in the US prison system.
If you want to treat solitary confinement as a wild and unacceptable punishment, please do campaign against it entirely, I'd like to see that change in your system. But it would be a change, which is kinda the point I'm making here: the Democrats *don't do change*. Not fast.
> Do you remember when they locked you in your house for a year?
Three problems with that:
1) Look at my profile to see why that's a dumb question in the first place
2) These clearly show state-level responses, not federal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_and_local_governmen...
3) Look at the dates on the previous link, which are both significantly shorter than a year, and also (except for CA) entirely contained within Trump's own first term.
So, if you did want to blame just one single party executive, which would be weird, you'd have to blame the Republicans.

You know how the military are supposed to follow any lawful orders even when those orders will definitely result in their own deaths?
Of all the pearls people clutch over the pandemic, the two which most confuse me are this particular one about the military, and which specific political tribe ended up being the one affiliated with hating masks. Slap some fake cameo pattern on it, call it "tactical", perhaps brand it "lung armour". Still, was obvious that eventually most people would hate them and it was just a matter of which party picked up the loudest mask haters, as per what happened in the Spanish Flu pandemic.
