I don't disagree? But my point is that caring more now is part of the problem. One need only look at the different applications of justice between Standing Rock and Malheur to illustrate that giving a shit about civil liberties only when people who look like us are imperiled is the whole of the issue.
You know what would rule? For the Republican Party to get so up in their don't wear masks/don't teach critical race theory nonsense that they decide that impinging the liberties of anyone is unamerican. The reason Malheur went as simply as it did was the whiplash reaction against Ruby Ridge/Waco/Etc under Clinton. They said as much. If I were a liberal attorney general I would go after every redneck sonofabitch with the full goose-stepping authority vested in me. Provoke me some real backlash. California's gun laws are as tough as they are because the Black Panthers practiced open carry. Be interesting to see Black Lives Matter adopt similar tactics.
