Bet you, every single one of the cunts pushing for this would have to immediately be convicted under the very same laws.

Thats the secret sauce in fascism. You pass draconian laws and only enforce them against the out group. Laws are enforced against "bad people". "Good people" get a high five and are sent on their way. This is where the police come in as a sort of filter. Police are incredibly adept at sorting good people from bad people and deciding who the law should apply to. In the event a good person gets inadvertently wrapped up in your new law due to a rogue cop who attempts to apply the law equally you have fascist judges to set things straight and that particular cop will have a short career.

Like American Marijuana laws, the cops didnt really care about people smoking weed, it was a convient way to put black people in jail.

Black people and hippies. The two groups Nixon hated more than anyone else.

Itll only be enforced against people they dont like.

They want something to feel special about. Conservatives love getting away with stuff that is "wrong" and since society has normalized a lot of previously "wrong" behaviors these people no longer have anything to feel special about. Subjugating others is how they get off.

If only it'd be enforced as such
