I get this every time someone says "both sides are the same!" Like, I've watched who's started basically every major military conflict in my life, who keeps cutting taxes for the rich and who keeps gutting social programs that would benefit the poor, who keeps trying to remove rights and prevent others from getting the rights they're owed, who's tanked the deficit and brought this country to near financial collapse multiple times, etc.
It's like accelerated around politics in general though. People will still foam at the mouth about how all of the accusations against Trump are just a psyop to bring down their one true god. Meanwhile, he's standing there holding a selfie cam like "what's up my true believers, I totally did every single thing they said and I'd do it again twice with your mother and Jesus himself watching." People out there still saying Trump isn't a rapist after not only a court of law found him to be one, and -literally everyone has heard a tape of him telling you exactly how to do sex crimes.- But it's like that for everything. Republicans are just straight up saying shit right into the microphone, and then 30 seconds later pretending like it's never happened.
