Murc's Law: How did it come to be? And why does it persist?

I understand that conservatives, by their nature, are trying to conserve their culture and policies, but how does that lead them to blaming Dems for Trump's election fraud?

"I knew the mob wouldn't go down without a fight, but this is different. They've crossed the line."

"You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation, they turned to a man who they didn't fully understand."

The conservative justification for their recent extremism, in general, is usually the claim that they are responding to the equal and opposite extremism that they see from Wokeness and transgender activism, etc. I feel conflicted about that logic, personally. On the one hand, yes, conservatives who make it are denying their own moral responsibility. On the other hand, at least part of me sincerely believes that the only way that the diversity and inclusion demographic are going to be stopped, is by fighting a literal, physical, shooting war against them.

I will never forget first seeing the interview between Jordan Peterson and Cathy Newman; it immediately hit me how similar it was to the interrogation scene from The Dark Knight. The only thing that was missing was Cathy having dyed her hair green.

There was a time, when the Left stood for things which I was able to recognise were necessary myself. Female suffrage, female education rights, abortion, gay civil unions, and an end to homophobic and transphobic violence. In the last fifteen years, however, I've seen the Left become something else; something which I can no longer support, and which I have come to believe will, if it is permitted to, destroy absolutely every last trace of stable or coherent society.

The Left comfort themselves by responding to that with the claim that I've just been paying too much attention to Ben Shapiro; when what they refuse to acknowledge is that my current view has actually come from observing them here. They respond to that with the claim that the Internet is not real life; which again is another illustration of the fundamental problem. Lying, misrepresentation, mockery, and gaslighting are the only forms of communication that the Left know how to use. The only thing the Left really know is rage, and the only thing they care about is winning; and they don't care how many lies they need to tell, or to who, or about what they will end up destroying, in order to accomplish that.

To go back to your earlier point, that's also a large part of the reason why the Left have greater agency. By definition, rules prevent people from acting. When you don't have rules, or you don't actually care about coherent morality, despite what you might claim, then you can do and justify literally anything you like.
