    They’re not ok just with government officials being corrupt, they’re ok with THEIR sides government officials being corrupt. If it were a Biden or Harris administration we’d never hear the end of it, there would be 1000 Republican committee hearings over it and Sean Hannity would be screaming about it…

    Leftists be like: “If you’re anything less than perfect, I don’t want you on my side”

    Fascists be like: “I don’t care what you do, as long as you’re on my side”

      This defines conservatism. Ingroup loyalty is the only force in their moral universe.

      It’s all they think you’re doing. It’s all they think there is.

      But also even if you’re on my side, you will be consumed at my whim

      People claiming to be leftists will impugn false beliefs on you any chance they get. You can be totally perfect and still be drummed out of the corp.

      The so-called left is fucked, much by Design, and controlled by the right.

        If you are speaking about US politics you are correct. There has not been a left since McCarthyism when the government purged all the leftist.

        We have a right and a far right.

    Anyone else remember the “something, something Biden Crime Family” investigations? Where they tried to argue how corrupt it was that Hunter Biden was making money while his Dad was in office?

      It’s a cult, they just regurgitate whatever slop their leader says, they don’t have any critical thinking, if that’s what you are expecting.
