@ucantstop_me I think the genesis of how we arrived at this moment begins with Obama. By most measures, he was a decent President. To oppose him, the right had to shred truth itself to cast him as a failure. It made them ripe for takeover by Trump, and here we are.
They've been so conditioned by partisan bias, that they aren't even really aware of what they're defending anymore.
@ucantstop_me I don't think they are. They're just parrotting what their sources tell them, which is that none of this would be happening if Biden weren't President.
Ask them why they're defending a murderous dictator, and they won't have an answer. It simply doesn't compute for them.
Now, there are those who know better. The right's influencers. Certain Republican electeds, but the average freedom-loving conservative*? They surrendered critical thinking long ago.
