I hear people say things like “if Obama (or anyone left of Republicans) did what Trump did, there would be hell to pay.”
Why isn’t that argument taken more seriously by people on the left as an implicit admission that the left is politically weaker or less effective at wielding power?
If one side “can’t get away with” actions that the other can, doesn’t that suggest a real imbalance rather than moral superiority?
When people say this they obviously don’t mean “I wish Obama could do evil stuff without consequences”, it’s about the double standardds.
Obama wears a tan suit? Huge scandal
Trump convicted for 34 felonies? Not a single vote lost
Hillary has something to do with imaginary child abuse pizza? Lock her up
Trump 100% confirmed a child rapist and involved with actual human trafficking? 🦗🦗🦗
