Interesting perspective. This is what I'm talking about with Leftists. They can't think outside of their box or process information that doesn't fit in that box.
I'm entitled to like this or not like that. For example, I had (and have) a personal dislike of Trump. I don't like arrogant, big-mouthed, wealthy New Yorkers.
I loved Trump policies because they were the correct ones and they worked.
I loved that he smacked the Left and media in the mouth. I'd waited 40 years for someone to do it and I found it glorious. That said, he made me cringe when he picked the wrong target or crossed a line on something he said.
But based on policy alone, I enthusiastically voted for him a second time.
For the 5000th time, I resented his Stop the Steal rhetoric, rejected it immediately, and he disgusted me with his actions, and lack thereof, on Jan 6.
And yet, I'm in a cult because I won't sign off on your looney views and hate the man the way you do. I mean, seriously, do you ever listen to yourself? It's such garbage and childish thinking.
The reason we knew the Russia! Russia! Russia! thing was a hoax is because we aren't blinded by a leftist ideological box and because we can look at something and see if it makes sense. In this case of the Mar-a-Lago raid, the signs of a rat are even more apparent. But if the Left and Dems come out with substantial evidence that justifies it, I'll change my mind.
People are allowed to do that, you know. You don't have to have everything nailed down on something in the first 48 hours. Wise people sense things through reason, and most of the time they are correct, but because wisdom is understanding and applying truth, it is a process not an event.
It's more important that you end with the truth than start with it. The Left starts with lies and ends with worse lies - typically.
But, in summary, I know it blows your mind, but it can actually make sense to not like someone personally, approve of the principles they operate in doing their job, like some aspects of their rhetoric while rejecting other aspects, and decide one action is disqualifying - but also not sign onto a series of lies about that person. Refusing to go along with false narratives isn't defending Trump, it's refusing to be drawn into silly sophistry.
