    I’m just so sick of this bullshit narrative. The media ignored Biden’s decline until it was undeniable, and Democrats act like a few journalists doing postmortem well after the election is a huge betrayal. Meanwhile, Trump’s aging is getting far more coverage than Biden’s got, but liberals are pretending there’s a conspiracy to ignore it because the cabinet hasn’t invoked the 25th amendment. It’s infuriating.

      I think it feels this way because - while articles are one thing - social media “atmosphere” was very different. I couldn’t go two posts without someone calling for Biden’s resignation, and it was all over the place, whereas with Trump it’s… Like, yeah, a couple of more prominent Democrats do that, but not really, and otherwise it seems like everyone just goes “such is life now”.

      Criticizing their favorite politician means they’re un-American, and must be purged to ensure the security of party unity.

      Democrats are just becoming more like Republicans every day. Next time a comedian calls out Newsom, they’ll say they need to be deported back to Russia.
