When threatened with arrest in the sixties, civil rights protesters responded defiantly, “we ain’t scared of your jails.” Sadly, by contrast, conservatives are now petrified with fear, like rabbits in front of a boa constrictor.

Remind me which 60s protesters got two plus years in solitary and faced 5-10 year sentences?

The "civil rights protesters" likely weren't people with middle-class jobs, professional licenses, and mortgages which would be affected by prosecution for "insurrection".

For them, getting jailed in a civil-rights protest would be a career enhancement, rather than a career-ending event.
