“In culture war crap, we tend to align! Yeah it’s for different reasons! I’m only for or against something because the people I hate decided it’s a new front!”
I swear they just do Ukraine support out of a culture war thing because 2016 elections, Russia and Trump.
Abandoning the idea that Russia buying a relatively miniscule amount of ads on social media/running bot farms swayed the 2016 election would mean that liberals would have to confront the idea that Trump won in 2016 b/c the country is actually more racist than they thought it was.
That, and the anti-Democratic structure of presidential elections is a much more serious problem than they thought.
They'd have to blame the electoral college more than anything. Clinton received 3 million more votes and still lost. Liberals are servants to rules and procedures even to their own detriment.
That's the kicker here. If Trump was anti-Russia and pro-Ukraine, the libs would be falling over themselves to denounce this evil war and supporting an authoritarian regime.
Yeah. They are defined by whatever the republicans want.
Boo other team, go my team! Yay politics! I vooted!
