The conservative threw a tantrum for a tan suit. They are just too weak to be critical of Trump.

The real meta weakness of the US is this false equivalence thing - tan suit vs rape, felony, treason, and so on... yet the media is doing this 50/50 thing, focusing on impossible standards for democrats and letting everything Republicans do slide, no matter how bad.

I mean, in their imaginary conspiracy theory world the Dems have done all the terrible things that Trump has done so to them it really is "Well they already did it". They say this despite not actually having evidence that any of it happened other than their dubious sources.

Absolutely. It's the "yuh will what about" and the people who "don't like the Democrats either" that keep this country a perfect breeding ground for fascist oligarchy.

If it wasn't for double standards republicans wouldn't have any standards.
