Yes, I can, because that’s exactly what liberals were doing in 2020-2022 in the wake of the George Floyd riots.
Also, ever heard of affirmative action? That’s where you get passed over from being hired or promoted for being white, even if you are in fact the most qualified candidate. This is usually justified by historical oppression (such as slavery), which makes it a collective punishment that’s applied regardless of guilt (even at the height of slavery in the US, less than 2% of the population were slave owners).

Why do you keep asking me questions you already know the answer to?

Are you trying to waste my time?

You're missing the point. If everybody is like that, then there's no reason to feel morally superior about whichever side of the fence you happen to lean on, because you have to consider that the other side might be doing the exact same, except their priorities are reversed.

Democrats weaponize the government to enforce their ideas of right and wrong just as much as Republicans do. You just don't notice it because it doesn't FEEL like enough progress is being made, but you enjoy the feeling of terrorizing your enemies just as much as they do.

The fundamental problem with that is this: whenever THEIR guys are in charge, neither side tends to have too many objections to increasing the power of the government – after all, you could be making so much more progress in so much less time if you just did away with all that annoying red tape (such as the filibuster).

But what most people fail to consider is that once you do, the precedent you set will become the template for the next administration, and the weapon you build will fall into their enemies' hands. No party is going to remain in charge forever (because that would be a dictatorship), so the next time you cheer for more radical measures when your side is in control, remember that you're also cheering for the other guys to do the same to you when they're back in charge.

US | Renee Nicole Good said ‘I’m not mad at you’ before ICE agent shot her, video shows

Renee Nicole Good calmly said everything was “fine” and “I’m not mad at you” seconds before an on-duty Immigration Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot her

Ask any married man and they'll confirm that whenever a woman says "everything is fine" and "I'm not mad a you", everything is not in fact fine and you are in great danger.

People when their party isn't in charge: "the government is too big and powerful."

People when their party IS in charge: "the government isn't powerful enough to be effective."

Every single time. This is rarely a principled stance.

You can still drive with a flat tire. Not very far and not very fast, but definitely far and fast enough to run someone over.

Honestly, if someone hadn’t let me in on the secret, I probably still wouldn’t have figured it out. Three thoughts later? This one could take you anywhere from three days to three years to figure out.
