The left: To anyone wondering this is a fair investigation done by objective people. It's not like NARA is political!
Person: Ugh..what about this? This says the opposite.
The left:
"I DON'T LIKE THIS!"
"WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH TRUMP?!"
"NOT ALLOWED!"
"YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT HERE! DERAILMENT! MODS!"
"YOU ARE A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY!"
2 days later: "Bruh, this is a fair investigation. I don't see any partisan fuckery".
When dealing with Trump, there simply is no comparison on the left in terms of double standards or confirmation bias.
This is objectively true.
But you do bring up a great point, which is that liberals offer up their own double standards and confirmation bias en masse.
However, rather than strengthen your defense of Trump, this actually demonstrates why he is such a terrible leader.
In short, people are extremely prone to political tribalism (double standards, selective perception, etc) — and these elements are exaggerated by an inflammatory and reckless politician like Trump because people are compelled to defend his actions at every turn, causing their judgment to progressively alter from a baseline level of normality.
And once they’ve dig in, there’s no going back.
Whether you like it or not, a healthy democracy is always going to host differing views. Typically, two parities. There’s not a democracy on Earth that can absorb a politician like Trump without the integrity of political perspectives crumbling.
People defend Trump like they defend Hilary. Politicians aren’t the answer, and terrible, dishonest, sensational politicians should not be voted for.
It’s a fools game. Focus on solving problems, not electing politicians to solve them for you.
Time to move on from Trump.
