I fully expect that when they've run out of culture war ideas, current Republicans will start demanding that cars of a certain color can only park in certain spots or drive in certain lanes.

I find they never do. We all just rotate things in and out every few years

Yeah, the point of their politics is to start the sheep stampeding from one fear to the next, ignoring their own needs while hurting everyone around them.

I often self reflect and see just as much bullshit from my own house. The point of their politics is independence. Driven by the sense of the frontiersman in their chuck wagon. The mentality that only they can take care of them selves and government is there to take away rather than help. The left is more of a garrison mentality where everybody's actions affects each other and if any step out of line they must be thrown out beyond the walls because without working together we don't survive the winter. Especially with assholes trying to take all rations a provisions for themselves.

They will find a way to associate one or two specific colors with either the queer community or antifa (red and black anyone) - and that will be how it starts.
