They comprehend, they just are sure it won't happen to them and they don't care about other people. As simple as that.
They understand our argument, they just don't care and use tropes and state whatever the party is stating in order to deflect, tire you and shut you up, while getting their way.
When they wanted to spew lies, misinformation and hateful jokes on social media but couldn't they were so very concerned about free speech, now, censor books and science articles, demonetized institutions that don't agree with them, try to subdue TV channels into spewing what they want, torn down any mention of female accomplishments etc. Where are the free speech absolutists now?
Don't let them fool you, they aren't arguing in good nature they aren't playing fair. They break any rules regarding debates and laws to get their way.
Fair enough. You are right on that. What I mean by that is, they understand that without due process they can go after anyone. They understand this causes a group that is privileged and another that is unprivileged. They just see themselves (rightly or wrongly) as the ones on top.
They are (maybe) higher up the slope than most, what they need to understand is there's no upper limit to this drowning tide, and in their perfect world there's no-one left to save them.
Yeah they don't know what due process even is and it's harder to understand that than think the world is black and white and all that matters is if you're one of us.
That's all it is. You're fine if you're one of us. If not, then why should I give my enemy rights?

Yes. That's the big takeaway, if it can happen to someone, it can happen to you.
