If you can't criticise both sides, then you may just be in a cult.

Apply your standards equally or you'll end up defending tyranny and overreach because it comes from "your team".

Funny how libs suddenly discovered free speech, after cheering on "misinformation" propaganda for four years now that Trump is trying to deport a protester.

And credulous Trump supporters are cheering the deportation because the government accuses him of supporting "terrorism".

Has it not occurred to you yet that "disinformation," "supporting terrorism" "insurrectionist!" "threat to our democracy" "anti-vaxxer!" is all just shit the government says (and servile losers repeat) to get you to comply with its agenda?

Now it's not really fair to do a "both sides" here because the libs have been 100x worse on this front, literally setting up a disinformation bureau and censorship industrial complex inside the government that took down social media posts for merely suggesting obvious truths like covid coming from a lab, the NYT calling the theory racist!

But I point it out more as a warning: don't defend government propaganda like those compliant fools. If the protester is guilty of an actual crime (and not simply protesting and words you don't like), make them prove it. It doesn't matter if you agree with or like the guy. It doesn't matter if you support much of what Trump et al are doing. The government is not your friend. Hold it to account no matter who is in charge.
