What the howlers forget is: Any law that speaks to their favor will be a law employed to their destruction. I can't help but think they want these laws under the assumption they will be the only ones enforcing them. They will not.
We complain about the corrupt and malicious but neglect to acknowledge they are a constant of the human condition. Even if we have nothing but an unending series of Democratic politicians elected to office they will soon learn that the corrupt and malicious will assume the mantle of big-D Democrats even though their hearts are anti-little-D democratic. The corporatists didn't gravitate to the Republicans because they prefer words that begin with "R;" they went because that is where the power is to be found. They will change flags as soon as it becomes expedient to do so. If they cannot have the McMansion of the corporatist they will seek out the dacha of the commissar. And as soon as the corrupt and malicious are realized for what they are the real big and little-D democrats will not be allowed to campaign against them because they gave the corrupt and malicious the power to crush free speech.
