A good in-depth discussion of media bias in political reporting, or why is it that Biden voters are encouraged to understand an empathize with Trump voters but Trump voters are never asked to understand Biden voters?

    The difference is that it’s very easy to point to examples of them destroying civil liberties (abortion), education (defunding schools), and banning books (homosexuality as a topic in particular), and history (teaching the upsides of slavery). Whereas they never have any actual examples of the left hating freedom or being communist.

      Spoken like someone who has never bothered to ask one of them why they think this. You’re just proving my point.

        Feel free to provide some examples then, otherwise quit with the both-sides bullshit.

        And no, kitty litter in classrooms isn’t a good example
