This is the thin end of a wedge even if it isn't intended to be. Rights need to be strictly defined for a reason.

I personally believe that we had an attempted fascist coup in the USA in January of this year. I know a lot of people disagree. If you disagree imagine that the defeated POTUS had been someone to the left of Bernie Sanders and a bunch of militia members wearing "Lenin was Right" shirts and carrying nooses and zip ties had stormed the capitol to stop the vote from being counted. What would you call that? (I'd call it the same thing.)

The next attempted coup will not be so incompetent. That totalitarian regime will inherit everything we are building today.

If you're on the other side of the aisle, imagine that the next attempted coup is indeed a radical leftist. That's by no means impossible. If the economic divide continues to worsen in this country it may not matter if they are "right" or "left" as long as they are passing out torches and pitchforks. I could see a large fraction of the MAGA crowd turning red in the more classic commie sense if they were promised jobs, affordable housing, and... well... someone to make America great again.
