Libs weren’t respecting the office, they were freaking out and screaming fascism the entire 4 years. You and I have a very different recollection of events
You're drawing a line between radlibs and libs.
All the elected officials were talking about how it deligitimizes claims of fascism to call them that meanwhile you had Goodwin coming out and saying his rule didn't apply.
Standard libs were still in the "when they go low we go high" mindset at the beginning and I've been saying for years the civility fetishist were getting them all killed.
I guess you're right we do have very different experiences except I know for a fact mine reflects reality sooo....
incorrect, especially after January 6th and Charlottesville. Democrat elected officials were calling Trump a traitor, a Russian asset, a fascist, a dictator, saying he was going to destroy democracy. Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Bernie Sanders, all of them were and continue to say this hyperventilating nonsense. They were actually saying the words "concentration camps" at the border, which suddenly became fine once Biden got into office btw. The fascism is alive and well, as always.
Goodwin's Law is that comparisons to Nazis are not apt, him coming and out and saying it didn't apply was him saying it was fair game to call Trump a Nazi. This is another example of the hyperventilation. Bill Maher was having 1 hour specials about how Trump was alt right and fascist. MSNBC and Maddow are on the RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA express, and have called Trump an open traitor many many times who threatens democracy and all that.
Go listen to the podjons pods during the trump years, it was all hands on deck this is a fucking emergency for democracy 24/7 insanity the whole time. They were freaking the fuck out calling him a fascist and more.
You could have not just said this smug passive aggressive horseshit. In fact, mine reflects reality and yours is only talking about centrist republicans.
K. guess it's just different lived experiences
bill maher, pelosi, schiff, schumer, maddow, MSNBC aren't "lived experiences"
they are official party propaganda outlets that explicitly pushed these narratives, it's not a matter of opinion.
