"Both sides do it" [View all]

This morning Senator Sasso was berating #fakepresident in a mealymouthed way. Out of his mouth he spews stuff about how 29% are Democrats and 25% are Republicans and 46% are independents. He hates up the "both sides have normalized lies" lie.

Sorry Sasso, you're lying. The objective facts show that we are fundamentally honest and you know it.

Another one of them started in with #fakepresident is a Democrat.

I will give the fascists this: their both sides do it lie is effective. If a self loathing liberal wants to undermine his or her own causes there is no better way to do that than to propagate the " both sides do it" smear.

We did not nominate #fakepresident. We did not compromise our values by suppressing votes. We do not lie, or normalize lying liars like #fakepresident or Rush Limbaugh or Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell.

No, both sides do not "do it." These people will never recover unless and until they own their own fascist pathology.
