10. it's only "not remotely disqualifying" because the media refuses to hold their feet to the fire

if a male democratic politician is accused of, say, not making his hands visible at all times near a woman, they make it impossible for him to run a campaign or be an effective senator.

there's not a single time they can ever make a speech, statement, or public appearance without being hounded by questions about the scandal. the media will completely ignore the topic the democrat wanted to talk about and question them exclusively about the scandal, including seriously damaging questions such as "how can you serve your constituents effectively as someone accused of these horrible things"

but when republicans are shown to be involved in literal treason, the media shrugs and points to a poll and says oh well, i guess it doesn't amount to anything important.




if the media started treating these traitors like, well, traitors, *then* it would be disqualifying.

how about the media start asking them "how can you serve in congress when you've tried to overthrow the government"?
or "why should anyone believe you when you lie repeatedly?"
or "why should your constituents vote for you when you repeatedly vote down help for them?"
or "why should anyone support you if they aren't billionaires or gun manufacturers?"
or "why do you say you love america when all you do is sabotage any effort to make america better?"

there's no consequence because the media keeps treating republicans like a normal party.

they are not.
