This article is written by an ideologue and doesn't even make an attempt to speak to those outside their reality bubble.
> Never in U.S. history have the Department of Justice and sympathetic state and local prosecutors indicted a leading opposition candidate and likely nominee of one of the two major parties, and at the beginning of a presidential campaign.
Eugh, completely unconvincing. Never in US history has a former POTUS attempted to thwart succession of the presidency, not to mention the keeping of classified documents after leaving office and bragging about it. Trying to frame this as purely a political game isn't going to work on anyone actually paying attention (read the indictment[0] and tell me that it's all just posturing/political blustering)
> The media routinely accuses conservative justices of improper or illegal behavior, without worry about the emptiness of the charges.
Cool, let's just completely memory-hole Clarence Thomas's totally not suspicious gifts[1] from rich people. This author loses absolutely all credibility here. The mask of an ideologue slips off real quick.
