It's starting to look like Merrick Garland wanted Trump dead when he ordered the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago for those classified docs back in August of 2022.

You’d be surprised. #HorseshoeTheory is a thing, but I think there’s also a sort of inverse #HorseshoeTheory where people on the left and right converge on what ordinarily would be centrism or liberalism, but is now considered right wing due to the shifting #OvertonWindow. #Destiny and #BillMaher are two really good examples of this.
That’s not how I see it. I used to be a leftist and I know for a fact that all their argumentation is based on ideologies, where an idea is more important than reality.
While Conservative ideas are based on experience and tradition rather than wishful thinking.
Also conservatives understand that if someone else is paying, they are not free.
I will never agree to any similarity between left and right. it’s children’s minds compared to grown ups.

Choice of media, choice of story of the day (the thing everyone talks about), vocabulary… it’s all different.
So there are things that are not strictly “true” which are taken as fact because they are needed to keep up these political tribal identities.
It’s odd and unnerving but I think only when the two sides are BOTH extremist do we get actual options.

I think that’s probably accurate. JFK would be seen as an extreme Right-winger now!
