> when the left does the same.

Thank you for saying something that has me opening my mouth and getting in trouble.

Given that I am a Lockean liberal at heart, I object to describing the entire left as doing the same thing as the right. There is still a portion of the left (admittedly shrinking) whose foundation is based on science, math, logic, and history.

However, that said, I see a lot of similarities between progressives and MAGAs in their denial of facts, shouting down others who disagree with them, and preferring conspiracies and truthiness because it feels better. Magas do carry it one step further in making up case law, inventing legal theories out of whole cloth (textualism), and making choices that degrade the function of socicity that make things better for everyone except stockholders

> When will the left stop complaining that the right is doing things they are also doing?

progressives, not the left. when the right stops being a bunch of snowflakes.

They won't as long as they get a molecule of attention.
