I find there is a certain blindness that goes on in life when it comes to who folk want to call to account driven by ones political view.
They do compare, you could be talking about the UK (parts of it) until very recently.
Single sex marriage was illegal until January, abortion illegal until March, collusion, internment, shoot to kill, even human rights lawyers were getting bumped off (Amnesty big on that), torture (we were throwing people out of helicopters with hoods on, Amnesty was writing about that one this year).
It might be a bit rich us talking about standards.
