Respect is earned not won.
What they mean by “respect” is dominance and fealty. For them, “respect” means that all the people they’d like to push out of society refuse to go.
What they mean by “attacked” is that people go on existing, in defiance to their clear wishes.

For a conservative “attacked” means being called an asshole.
For a gay person it means their marriage annulled, conversion therapy, fear of death
For a trans person it means bathroom apartheid, fear of death
For a POC it means constant persistent harassment, fear of death

For a young person, it means crushing student debt, no medical insurance, fear of death
For an immigrant, it means harassment, families torn apart, fear of death
Conservatives drive all this, actively, proudly, and then feel attacked when it’s noticed.
And they demand respect.

They *demand* it. They’ll take it if they must.
They threaten another civil war if they can’t have the whole country a safe space for them again.
But the threat of violence from the right is empty; its a violent threat already. It’s all they’ve ever had.

To “respect” the right as they demand it is to meekly submit to all the daily violence they intend for everyone else.
Disrespect very much intended, dinks.
