You tipped your hand here by repeating a line used over and over again on Twitter (“breaking all norms of governance”) https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=breaking%20all%20norms%20of%20governance&src=typed_query https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=breaking%20all%20norms%2... So, are you a bot? Or are you just not thinking independently? I strongly suggest spending less time on social media. You’ll find that both sides of the political spectrum are just people, like you and me. Not “monsters” as the news would like you to believe.

You insult my intelligence. You're being rude. I think plenty on my own. Like many humans, I occasionally use terms in vogue to get the point across. You must not work in technology or communications. (see how asinine that sounds?) I'll forgive you for not seeing my other comment in the thread, but to be clear, my beef is with the political establishment on the right. My feelings toward "normal human beings" who are conservative are much more varied. The Republican party as an organization at the federal level is indisputably a less patriotic, more malicious organization than the Democratic party, which has its own problems of infighting, horse-trading, and "everyday" corruption. But instead of posting the latest trove of articles describing McConnell threatening SCOTUS appointments again, or Trump trying to use the Justice Department to investigate debunked claims of voter fraud for his own benefit, or the million other datapoints about how awful the GOP leadership is - please, continue calling me a bot.

  I didn't mean to insult your intelligence. I see plenty of intelligent people acting irrationally these days. I suggest checking out right-wing Twitter/corporate news to see how they're using the same words ("unpatriotic", "malicious") in the exact same way to describe the democrats. The truth, as always, is somewhere in between. It's not black and white, evil vs. good. At least not in the real world.

    Ah, but the difference is that the twitter right wing is wrong. Just because they say it too doesn't make the correct side less correct.

    That's when YOU have to look at the facts and decide for yourself. For example, looking at the footage from the Capitol on January 6th and decide for yourself if those were just people on a "normal tour of the Capitol" like some Republicans are claiming, or if it was a criminal mob trying to thwart the election like almost everyone claimed at the time.
