My view is that the Left has begun to weaponize government against conservatives. In times past, they argued issues and largely retreated to their respective corners. Not so any more. When the Left assumes power, they go on offense now to eliminate the opposition. Generally, the Right does not do that, except that it is now is becoming necessary for the Right as well purely from the perspective of self-preservation. It is clear to me that the Left has declared war on regular folks like me.
The left has engaged in a war they will lose. The victor is always the side that fights to the last man standing.
