When the Left is in power, they shut down and criminalize the Right. When the Right is in power, they shut down and criminalize the Left. This should not be… and is a terrible precedent.

"Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome." -Carlie Munger on Fiat
That’s a generalization and not specific to this instance or any of the other corruption DOGE has found. There are actual criminals out there. We can’t just look the other way because people make it political. Precedent went out the window during the Biden administration. Bringing accountability and justice to shadowy NGOs is exactly the precedent we want.

I think @less , you need to provide some examples that substantiates your claim here. Ideally examples that are equally burdensome if your point is to equate the culpability of both parties. I don’t see that they equate at all.

Keep in mind that there are several policy stances that the left now oppose which they supported just a couple administrations ago. …such as gay marriage 🤷‍♂️

Completely agree. What's amazing is that in spite of this, people still will excuse such action merely because *generally* bitcoiners get more flak from the left, so they assume the right has their best interests at heart. The truth is neither do, and any rightwing/leftwing support you get is because it's politically expedient in that moment.
You might have it backwards. Maybe none of this is worth using the govt's monopoly on force to collect for. Maybe both sides shooting down the others grift is exactly what we should not hate to see.
