When will we cut the bullshit both sidesism?

I keep hearing how this is left/right politics as usual, because, if the shoe was on the other foot, Republicans are sure that Democrats would have been ok with an attempted insurrection by force.

That might be true, despite the fact that Gore didn't even pursue a legal challenge, much less an armed insurrection, but it doesnt make what Trump tried to do right, and if Gore had called for Civil War, it still wouldn't excuse Trump's alleged actions.

So Trumpists really believe that two wrongs can make a right?

Or is is a matter of the ends justify the means?

"It's on both sides" is the same tactic of sharing/assigning blame to the victim in a situation. It forcefully and incorrectly levels the playing filed by gaslighting someone into believing this is an issue that involves their wrongdoing.

The Democrats do not act like the GOP and conservatives. This is borne out. One need only look at history to discover it or look into any articles regarding current allegations and charges within government.

He didn't hit you because you nag him to much without letting him rest; he hit you because he has a problem all his own. Both sides have not caused this morass we find ourselves in; that was the willful inaction and bad action of the GOP. Period.

@Graylight 😂😂 saying all politicians are corrupt and the system they operate in is corrupt is victim blaming. Take a bow. Blue/red, both work against the "people"

@gol979 Yes, because voting magically blows away things we don't want to deal with.
