        Right? Like what the fuck. I can’t imagine ever going, “haha look at Eric’s penis. AOC is a legend!” or anything. I like AOC because she doesn’t do things like that. And if she did things like that, I would lose respect for her.

        That was such a weird and weak “but both sides” attempt because it’s only based in a hypothetical situation where they can pretend they know how things will totally turn out.

        Edit: oh. Surprise. That koofnoof’s history is not surprising at all. Apparently thinks conservative ideas such as hating trans people isn’t hateful because “the true hate is from the trans people hating themselves”. I’ve never once yet ever on here or reddit seem a stupid “both sides” come from anyone even remotely left leaning. It’s always hateful bigots trying to say everyone is as much of a piece of shit as they are.

          Yep. They both-sides this shit because they really, really want it to be true that both sides are equally reprehensible, but it simply isn’t so. And as usual, the accusation turns out to be a confession.

      Funny how right wingers think everyone just wants to protect their own like they do. No, that’s why the two side are NOT the same. We want the rules followed no matter who

      Yeah, all the conservatives would want AOC hanging. But Greene, they will praise her. Fucking double standards.

      Anthony Weiner went to jail for sending obscene material to a minor. We’ll see if the same happens to MTG.

      Please provide an example of someone on the left doing something like this, and their base praising them for it

        Didn’t we play this out earlier with Melania? That she was a model before she married Trump and there are pictures of her in her underwear? And didn’t both sides go, “Why are you bringing this up? It is not relevant to this election.”

          That’s not a good comparison. Melania’s pictures are public, and AFAIK nobody in public office made a big deal out of if. These pictures are private and were presented by a member of congress

      You guys are always allergic to context, lol.

      All except Tiffany and Baron were an official part of the Trump administration, as advisors to the President, so all except Tiffany and Baron are fair game politically. Eric, Don Jr, Ivanka chose to become active parts of Trump’s political endeavors.

      What the fuck is wrong with you? It’s horrible no matter who does it and it’s also AGAINST THE LAW. You know, the thing the Republicans claim to be the party of?

      Man, every reply to your comment is a Whoosh© moment.

      You’re absolutely right. Obviously it is reprehensible no matter who does it. But if the Left did it, the fascists would be foaming at the mouth about how unacceptable and criminal the act was (which it would be regardless of who did it).
