    What?

    That already happens. The media spins bullshit about conservatives 24/7. Alarmingly, often the state does too.

    Meanwhile, both the media and the state bend over backwards to cover for those on the left. I remember the CNN anchor who called the riots "mostly peaceful" while standing in front of a burning building. Or the mayor of Seattle, who called CHOP "the summer of love" not long before the protesters shot a 14-year-old.

    Conservatives know what it feels like to be targeted by the media and authoritarians in government. Liberals and leftists don't.

    You remember when conservatives were protesting the lockdowns, abiding by all laws and often maintaining social distancing by staying in their cars, and Democratic governors condemned them as dangerous maniacs? Then a few months later, when mobs started setting fires to cities and assaulting people, the same governors praised them as "peaceful protesters" and let them get off scot-free?

    If you can't see this now, you're just willfully ignorant.
