True to a point, but if the Republicans had the levers of power I still think our side is mostly principled enough to not do the same shit back to the Left.
I want them to do worse to the left at this point. Leftists are a threat, and need to be dealt with.
Spez: to be clear, principles are all well and good, up until you keep saying "But we stuck to our principles" as you get murdered in the streets, and shoved on cattle cars.
Don't be a faggot. The right collectively needs to wake up, and actually stop the left from fucking around (or if they do, make sure they find out).
If The Right were truly in power in society the way the Left is today - at all institutional levels - and not just a certain political party holding the US Congress, the few people with any principles on either side wouldn't matter. The masses of NPCs who do what they are told by the media would be right-wing/conservative. The people who are trannies and SJWs today would suddenly be white shirt tie-wearing churchgoers who demand censorship of entertainment to protect the children. The corrupt politicians would still manage to wind themselves into leadership positions, where they would promote whatever restrictions they thought would engender the masses and benefit them. The federal government and three letter agencies would still want control and censorship of Big Tech to hide their dirty laundry. So it wouldn't matter if Republicans promoted an ideological platform of free speech, because the idiotic masses that get to participate eventually dilute and twist the meaning of that.

That's the way it would be after 50 years of the Right controlling the cultural institutions (teaching/college, HR, media). If they got power now it would just mean slowly returning to an already too liberal center.
The problem with the political pendulum analogy is that it's not gravity that swings it back - it's not inevitable - it's millions of people pulling it back from the fringe taking small actions in their everyday life. And there's so many crazy left out there that even in total power the pendulum can't swing back that fast unless it's reset.
You can always tell who's persecuted and who's doing the persecuting by who supports and opposes free speech respectively.

But I'd still prefer THAT over what we have now.
Sign me the fuck up
