I really resent the idea that standing up for the rule of law

56. Yes, thanks for that post!

I’ve noticed that every time the Democratic Party does something good or a Republican is caught doing something awful the media always frames it as “how will the Democrats use this to their political advantage?”. For example, with the Kavanaugh hearings, as all these revelations about his sexual depravity started coming out the media would play the drumbeat of what “political” hay the Democrats would make out of this information. Like, being morally repulsed by the information wasn’t a strong enough reason to object to his appointment to the highest court in the land (the inference being, I suppose, that Liberals have no morals); it’s all just political theatre.

Then on the other side of the fence, whatever Republicans do is always framed as motivated by love of God and country; they get to be the good patriots on tv. It’s sickening. I’ve seen it so many time, but mark my words, next time tRump causes a big fuss by doing or saying something stupid some talking head is going to say “how will Democrat’s use this for political advantage...”. Like morals and basic human values are not reason enough to object to that monster.
