It would seem the Democrats and to a lesser extent the Republicans are the new thought police, much like various religious groups in the 1900s who codified their opinion of "christianity" into law. Each side trying to force whatever on the populace for their personal gain. Democrats are pronouns, forced vaccination, forced slavery via taxes, and Republicans are unchecked police power, civil forfeiture, and 'trust the courts' which almost always rule with the powers that be.
