Our actual right-wing government is out there offcially arresting journalists, beating bystanders, observers, and protestors, even killing some of them. They're terrorizing people they disagree with.
The rest of us correctly recognize this as "fascist." An act of free speech with no threat or consequences attached.
You're observing this situation and declaring that "conservatives are infinitely more tolerant of opinions they disagree with than the left." Because the infinitely tolerant right is normalizing summary executions as official policy, and because the intolerant left is capable of reading a dictionary.
This is the traditional conservative two-tiered system of intolerance. A deliberate conflation to allow the bullies to paint themselves as victims whenever that's convenient. "He called me a Nazi, just because I want his neighbors to be brutalized. He's the intolerant one."
This just isn't germane to what ICE is doing on the ground today, because
They're not focusing on the criminally charged or even the undocumented, they're kidnapping just anyone, documented or otherwise, they think they can get away with shipping overseas.
They're not operating in places that host lots of undocumented, they're instead terrorizing states that have the smallest "problems" with the undocumented. States that voted against the president in the 2024 election.
They're not following any kind of legal process, so there is no evidence that they're doing any of the stuff they claim to be doing.
It's not incoherent to support immigration enforcement and also be appalled by what ICE is doing. Indeed, if one values the rule of law, this is the position one must take. Because it would be incoherent to assert that on the one hand, due process doesn't matter, but on the other hand, borders and citizenship do.
