Its always been this way. Conservatives have always been a societal problem and no one ever deals with them. Its always brushed under the rug with a phony "arc of history" narrative which allows society to ignore the problem. Modern ideas like brainwashing further compound the problem as it thrusts upon the left an impossible task: the ability to turn fundamentally bad people good.

It's the same thing when a fight happens: you did but they can decide not to press charges
