One of the reasons the right is convinced that violence is only directed at them is their ability to ignore and forget all the acts of violence committed against the other side of the aisle.
Ask Trump about the firebombing of Shapiro's home or the plot to kidnap Whitmer and I guarantee he'd whiff.

pointing out the rights hypocrisy about freedom of speech doesnβt really do too much but i honestly am just stunned how blatantly and quickly they reversed on pretty much every constitutional freedom the moment they gained full power

JD Vance wants to go after the Ford Foundation, eh? Interestingly, the Ford Foundation has long been in the crosshairs of the American far right for their supposed funding of "hateful, radical left, anti-white propaganda." Here's an example of that talk from the 1955 edition of The White Sentinel.

The Long Shadow of Racial Fascism - Boston Review
A debate is roiling about the aptness of comparing Trump to European fascists. But radical Black thinkers have long argued that racial slavery created its own unique form of American fascism.
βBlack radical thinkers have long sought to expand the historical and political imagination of an anti-fascist left.β
They moved beyond the European analogy and emphasized racial slavery, colonialism, the prison industrial complex, and surveillance technology.

I believe in labor unions and am a member. But many romanticize them as if they magically solve things.
In academia, job cuts, restructuring, and political repression are happening at schools with faculty and staff unions. Many union members are racist and anti-leftist. The struggle is constant.
