    I’m more than a little tired of the double standards that the media and MAGA folks have for politicians. Trump spews out a constant stream of attacks against his opponents, to the point that it’s riled up his supporters to storm the capital and kill police officers. But as soon as someone else calls them out, then the pearl clutching comes out.

    Fuck these deplorable garbage people.

      The problem is that they never hear about the stuff MAGA folks do. Fox doesn’t report about it, but they blast Biden’s gaffes from the rooftops, meaning more mainstream news orgs have to cover Biden’s gaffes or risk looking like they’re playing favorites. So the MAGAs never hear about the evil stuff Trump says unless they go looking for it–which they only do if they want to hear it from him anyway.
