To drive your point home, and I’m not sure if it was here or another thread, but a guy was effectively defending "muh both side”-ing this because democrats hadn’t passed universal health care. Lol it’s insane that this is the discourse now.
Exactly. Democrats are expected to be adults, while Republicans are treated like toddler’s that have just been given an 8ball and a 6 pack. Like, I saw a non-ironic headline basically saying that keeping the government open was a win for Mike Johnson. Meaning, literally doing their job at all is some kind of a win. And, of course, was he able to do it because he was able to unite his party and get things done? Of course not, it took the adults bailing him out and capitulating because everyone knows if the government was shutdown the story wouldn’t be that a Republican majority can’t even keep the government open, it would be that Democrats didn’t get on board and bail them out.
