Calling Trump Hitler and fearmongering about concentration camps is pretty beyond the pale, too. Deplorable smears isn't something unique, much less novel, with Trump.
The point is you can't only be outraged when one side does it and then lament why things never change. Let's stop calling it "whataboutism" and maybe acknowledge it's calling out hypocrisy, because 90% of this board's "outrage" is highly selective and partisan.
A guy who used the DOJ to punish enemies and protect himself and his friends, and then sought directly to overturn a valid election, in part by convincing tens of millions it was stolen, and the DOJ is weaponized against HIM, is more than "beyond the pale." It is the worst campaign fraud, and internal assault on democracy, in the history of the US. And it is not over. Trump has quite possibly leveraged that Big Lie into another term in office.
So there is definitely something here unique, novel, and dangerous.
And here you are again speaking of outrage when only when the other side does it, like it's somehow "selective and partisan" to recognize the unique threat that Trump poses to US democracy. Your great insight this unprecedented historical moment appears to be that "both sides" use Hitler memes and it's "hypocrisy" not to acknowledge that. Carry on, MAGA.
I'd like to get you on record: Did Biden steal the 2020 election, as Trump says, and has he "weaponized" the DOJ against Trump? You bought the Trump/MAGA claim the Russia investigation was a hoax. Where do you stand on the Big Lie?
