MODERATORS
Because they have been tricked into believing to their core that the other side is doing it already, so they have to do it too just to keep things "fair". And the influencers and media groups that are tricking them into believing these things will never be held accountable for the actions they are taking as a direct result of tricking them, so it will not stop and will likely continue to escalate. See also: January 6, 2021. Check out the Assault on America podcast on that which is just a few episodes by the same people who do Behind the Bastards.
It’s a vicious circle, really.
-
Do the bad thing.
-
Pessimistically project it onto the ‘others.’
-
Justify doing the bad thing because ‘they’ do it.
-
GOTO 1
Because, being ideologically bankrupt, they think the ends justify the means - the ends, of course, being simply to hurt people that aren't like them.
Because they're the ones that always shout about voter fraud.. and every word that comes out of their mouth is projection.
I'm glad we're catching all of this voting fraud.
GOP said there were so many! And they knew about it, because 100% of the fraud has been from them!
I'm just glad he brought so much attention to the manufactured issue lol. But his side will never care so until there's sufficiently extreme disincentive, it is what it is
picks up a book and tests its weight before handing it to the judge
Hit that cunt right betwixt the eyes, gov'nah.
