    Not really.

    People want to believe there was some magic conspiracy that, somehow, absolutely NOBODY has talked about when trump can’t even go a decade without talking about wanting to bang his own daughter. AND they managed to pull it off, not when trump was actually in charge, but four years later when Biden was.

    Because the alternative is realizing just how hateful this world is. And having to question if maybe “I am against genocide and won’t talk about anything else” and “we should have run bernie instead” might not have been particularly helpful in encouraging liberals and progressives to actually fucking vote.

    You see it any time personal accountability becomes a thing. The republicans flocked to qanon because it meant they were actually special and great and it was everyone else who was an evil jewish space lizard or whatever the fuck. Not that they are odious hate fueled shitheads. And… apparently lefties really wish they were Dave and Tommy. Rather than acknowledging that… yeah, glazing liz cheney ain’t it. But maybe villifying anyone who can provide progress for not being Progressive enough isn’t it either.
