Extreme Hypocrisy

I will never fathom how the Right went from "Don't tread on me" to "Comply utterly or be killed."

But, to be fair, I also will never fathom how the Left looked back at the Moral Majority movement of the 1980s (when an extreme faction tried to impose its narrow, rigid doctrine on a heterogeneous nation) and thought "Hey, let's do that!", becoming the new sanctimonious enforcers of moral rectitude. I'm old enough to have whiplash from conservative moralism snapping into liberal moralism. I don't remember a breather, just a distant, foggy memory of the Before Times—of hippies and guitars and Manson.
