The last 8 years have seen the United States implement some of the most extreme right wing policies from abortion bans to border walls and migrant detention to a flagrantly, extreme right wing SCOTUS.

Part of the reason the "leftists caused this" narrative falls apart is that it's untrue — the last 8 years have not seen Democrats implement a totalitarian Wokistan.
The other reason, though, is that it reifies authoritarians' own story about themselves: "We had to do this, they forced our hand."

The reality is the opposite. We have the most funded and most violent law enforcement (and criminal justice system) ever. And racism is objectively worse.
