The party of law & order, everyone.

"Law and order" is a dogwhistle that means, "Maintaining existing hierarchies using the power of the state". Sundown towns are law and order.

Rule of law is when the laws apply equally to everyone. The red team despises this: "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
