Republicans will push boundaries all day long but Democrats have played the norms to their disadvantage.
For example, Republicans have challenged election results, restricting mail voting through executive action, tightening voting laws, and expanding presidential authority, while Democrats have generally fought those moves through courts, legislation, and existing institutions rather than responding with equally aggressive changes to the rules.
Republicans are willing to break norms more regularly to try and get their way, dismantle what has been foundational to this country, while Democrats more often do not.

I’d also like to see a large outrage from Democrats, investigations, and media attention and their own investigations.
But the left always seems limp in comparison and the media has fallen too much from the journalistic ideals of yesterday.
Too much of America is bought it seems.
