Conservatives have been afraid. Cowed, same root word as coward. They had been kow-towing for a long time. Cowed and kowtowing cowards. Get full power of every government institution? "Oh, we can't act like THEY acted, that would be scary. We're scared. Our spines were removed years ago while we sniveled kneeling on the floor."

What good did being afraid do for them? The left is, literally, tearing out the center-right's throats now. Maybe actually passing some laws, changing some definitions of stochastic terrorism, levying some fines and punitive charges upon the MSM rabble-rousers and mainstream streamer sphere firebrands advocating for more fear, pain, and death of the Right, THAT might cool things down.
