If a Democrat’s doing it, it’s bad and government corruption/taxpayer waste. If a Republican’s doing it, it’s okay. It’s overblown. Sometimes there’s whataboutisms, but sometimes there’s not, and that’s all there is to it. :/ Reminds me of discussions with the more extreme tankies. At some point I just don’t know what to say and have to change gears.
