Reminder that during the 2024 election night, Russians called in bomb threats to many swing state polling places. No peep about that still from Trump, I guess that was "interference with sovereign matters" enough for them.
Bessent: "I've read that Ontario is spending up to $75 million on these advertisements and it's propaganda coming across our border to decry the tariffs. The premiere of Ontario seems to have come off the rails a little ... this is interference in US sovereign matters."
When Dems inevitably vote yes on that garbage bill, and then Republicans blame them years from now when Medicaid and Social Sec get cut
JUST IN: The bill puts significant pressure on Democrats in the Senate, whose votes will be needed in order to avoid a shutdown. The federal government runs out of money at the end of the day on Friday.
Rubio looks like he's having an existential crisis every time he is at a formal event with Trump
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office. Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US. Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him. This is unbelievable.

For example, I want an armed forces & CIA that march in pride parades & make ads touting their diversity not because I believe this changes the fundamental nature of the organization, but because the kind of person who doesn’t mind that is less likely to enthusiastically implement an enabling act.
I'm not exaggerating, they see the right as dumb. They are more willing to hold the left culpable since in their minds they know better. It's like how you don't get as mad at a child compared to an adult. There are quite literally 2 standards, and you need to fight them tooth and nail over it.
Is there a psychoanalytic read for the impetus, seemingly ubiquitous among the US pundit class, to automatically exonerate those on the right from any responsibility for their decisions, viewing them as somehow perpetually besieged and behaving in reaction to a morally oppressive left?
You are up to date.
