And hypocritically, when they are in government power any notion of civil liberty goes out the window, as we witnessed during the Biden Administration's widespread censorship of social media and Democrat efforts to prosecute their opponents for fabricated crimes.  

Anyone with a sense of memory will find it difficult to muster an ounce of sympathy for the Dems after years of leftist oppression.  Cancel culture was created by the progressives as a nuclear option against their political opponents.  They used it without hesitation, and payback is a bitch.  

To the credit of conservatives and moderates, efforts to exact "revenge" have been limited despite the endless list of trespasses by Democrats, not to mention the riots, mob intimidation and politically motivated murders committed by woke activists.  There has been no mass vigilantism to punish them, at least not yet.  

If Democrats were smart they would count themselves lucky, keep their heads down and stay out of the way as the Trump White House works to repair the damage done by Joe Biden and his handlers.  Trump's election victory with a stunning lead in the Electoral College and a clear popular majority was a message to Dems that their policies and ideals are not wanted by the public.

Alas, acceptance and peace is not the way of the political left.  They claim to love "democracy", but only if it works in their favor.  They must double down and cause more problems; it's all they know. 

Case in point:  Senator Chuck Schumer still can't keep his big mouth shut when it comes to his repeated calls for activists to "rise up" and disrupt lawful White House policies.  On MSNBC this week, Schumer discussed the government shutdown, as well as the indictments of Letitia James and John Bolton.  Schumer once again called for a public uprising to stop Trump, which is likely in preparation for the "No Kings" protests scheduled for October 18th.
