After several decades, I’ve become so used to this pattern that I can barely muster feelings about it anymore, and that’s bad.
No matter what Republicans do, it’s always, always Democrats’ fault somehow. Even democrats have been conditioned to blame their own regardless of how blatantly Republicans are at fault. It’s almost Pavlovian at this point.
In most cases, there’s literally nothing Democrats could have done, but they’re blamed nonetheless. And it’s never the other way round.
It should be outrageous, scandalous, and unacceptable, but instead, it’s just a Tuesday.
My favorite podcast to keep me sane for a while has been The Professional Left Podcast, where they contextualize how politicians and the media brought us to this lowly place. They always joke that it’s ‘no fair remembering stuff,’ such as McConnell promising to make Obama a one-term president and then stealing a supreme court seat while drowned out by cries of, “why won’t Obama LEAD?!”
