I hear people say things like “if Obama (or anyone left of Republicans) did what Trump did, there would be hell to pay.”

Why isn’t that argument taken more seriously by people on the left as an implicit admission that the left is politically weaker or less effective at wielding power?

If one side “can’t get away with” actions that the other can, doesn’t that suggest a real imbalance rather than moral superiority?

So like you want President Gavin Newsom to order the Justice department to charge Tucker Carlson with mortgage fraud?

Corruption and abuse of power actually get worse if it's "both sides". Don't you think?
