    The media dipshits who were saying how this would be a changing moment and that Republicans will come to their senses are completely naive. If anything it will be the other way around and people will become more radicalized on the right. All I’ve seen is whataboutism about BLM and the “it was actually Antifa that did it” argument. They’ve learned nothing and things like this are gonna be a common occurrence in the future.

      They've been saying that for the past 4 years. Biden even pushed that same stupid bullshit about Republicans "going back to normal" and "coming back to their senses".

      Republicans have never been normal. At least not in my lifetime and I was born in 1992. They were crazy all through the Obama era. They were crazy during the Bush years. They were crazy back in 1994 if you read up on the whole "Republican revolution" midterms.

      Mainstream media has an extreme liberal and centrist bias and they're obsessed with the whole "good Republican" myth they've created. They worship John McCain, regardless that he voted with Trump in police over 70% of the time and had a long track record of being a POS. Mitt Romney is their favorite Republican; whom also supported Trump's tax cuts and most of his policy. All they care about is the theatrics of politics.
