    A very direct way of shutting any legitimate criticism.

    If you can’t acknowledge the flaws in the system, for fear of something worse happening, you’ve already failed. Cause those flaws are going to come back to bite you in the ass anyways.

      Nah, he’s right, it is dumb. The Democrats are just as awful as the GOP but in other ways and the lockdowns showed us that. They literally flew off in their private jets after ripping off trillions of dollars while forcing you to lose your job sitting around at home nibbling on crumbs.

      The system is pointlessly broken and our countrymen are hopelessly broken because they put up with it to keep a roof over their head.

        … theyre decrying the argument, not agreeing with it. “Both sides” is a rallying on the right to try and draw a false equivalence, and in the center as a sardonic attack on anyone who dares criticize the Democrat establishment.

        The two parties are, at their core, corrupt. That doesn’t stop the Republicans from being measurably worse.
