It is unbelievable that some on the left don’t believe that this is a witch hunt.
They don't care if it is. Drew Klavan makes the point (here in paraphrase) that these people are like
fungus infected ants who are convinced that they are righteous and that centralized power is a good thing because it is being run by people like themselves who are righteous and in possession of virtue.
These people know that they are righteous, they are experts, they are in charge of doing these things to the people who don't know better and shouldn't be allowed to make decisions for themselves. They lie so easily because it becomes irresistible to disbelieve anyone who opposes them. Because to themselves, they seem to be telling the truth. And they defend the lie as if it were the truth because that is what they believe deep in their souls. They are brain fungus infected ants.
And like those fungus infected ants their brains have become controlled by the belief, the fungus, the delusion that they possess an overarching virtue. So righteous and virtuous they are that they feel the duty to force everyone around them into submission as if it were to save the earth. To perpetuate the fungus. By Any Means Necessary is their banner. And these people have coopted every institution our society has to offer.
Every Single One
Not only did they not care if it is or is not a witchhunt, they are all on board with it.
Scratch the skin of a Leftist, RINO, or a Deep Stater, and you see a tyrant.
