I hear people say things like “if Obama (or anyone left of Republicans) did what Trump did, there would be hell to pay.”

Why isn’t that argument taken more seriously by people on the left as an implicit admission that the left is politically weaker or less effective at wielding power?

If one side “can’t get away with” actions that the other can, doesn’t that suggest a real imbalance rather than moral superiority?

    Oh come on now, the dems give everyone on their side a pass. Look at Al Franken, what he did was way worse than anything in the Epstein files and got off scott free.

    Er, wait…that is what happened, right?
