Overheard

This is so stupidly obvious, I can't believe somebody has to actually say it.

Our justice system was put together in a way that lets a few of the bad guys slip through the cracks, in order to protect decent law-abiding people.

And the justice system is there not only to protect us from each other, but to protect us from any overzealous goons working for a wacked out demagogue.

If government can deny even one single person the right to due process, then nobody has any rights that the government is legally bound to respect.

MAGA:

I don't care that gang members don't have the right to plead their case in court - they deserve whatever law enforcement doles out to them, and the harsher the better.

Normies:

Alrighty then - I say you're a gang member. The government is coming to arrest you, and they'll have you on a plane to El Salvador in the morning.

MAGA:

I'm not a gang member. They can't touch me. They have no right.

Normies:

You can't prove you're not a gang member. Without due process, none of your rights even exist. Government can do whatever it wants.
