22. a benign request for civility towards the candidates is equivalent to changing the rules?

It is certainly convenient to pretend a benign and informal request for civility towards the candidates is equivalent to "changing the rules."

Granted, it's not predicated on the reality of the request, but to rationalize one's vulgarity towards a democratic candidate, I suppose the myopic have to re-color pretty much anything that doesn't validate their biases to better maintain their own personal narratives of that same reality.

Give me a break, part two.
