The right simply does not understand how the left views the world, I'm convinced.
So frequently they will post this unhinged "gotcha" shit where they think that if they just apply what's happening to someone on the right to someone on the left that we'll just fold once we see the same standard applied to "our side" and every single time everyone on the left is just like, yeah, sounds good.
@rodhilton In the UK we saw this in the seeds of Brexit.
For decades, both Lab & Tories thought it a great idea to find a way to pin unpopular policies on the EU, even when it was manifestly nothing to do with them
However, over time, Tory MPs were elected who had mistaken the map for the territory - they genuinely believed the errant nonsense that had been said & that the EU was an evil superstate.
That is what I see in the modern GOP - some of the nutjobs are true believers.
