Yes, that’s why they use the phrase “law and order” vs using the phrase “rule of law.” “Law and order” is the rules for thee but not for me way of saying that they love violent crackdowns on poor people, Black people, officers raping women and getting away with it, the GOP violating laws and getting away with it.

There’s no defense for voting Republican. They are trying to overthrow the government.

They don't believe in the rule of law unless it is there to subject people of color. That's it. They are a totally lawless bunch, rules for the, but not for me.
