These laws never seem to backfire because for them to backfire, the left would have to start using all of the loopholes that the right have put in place, and for some reason the left continues to act like they’re “better than that” as the entire country devolves into fascism. I hope they sleep well at night when they say “well we may have lost our country to fascist dictators, but we didn’t break a single rule on the way!”

Just look at the gerrymandering in this country and how it wholly benefits the conservatives and you’ll realize the democrats are wholly incapable of even stressing against the rules, even to save our country from people who are actively working to destroy our freedom and our rights. We’re never going to beat the opposition when the opposition cheats at every turn and we obey all the rules. It’s a losing game and there’s no ethical silver bullet that we can say we upheld when our country is overtaken by immoral and deceitful thieves.
