„It is vital to keep all eyes and ears on Mr. Putin’s deeds and not be distracted by his words. He launched a war of aggression to destroy Ukraine as a democracy and as a nation-state. There can be no compromise with this depravity.“ https://t.co/pBTmg7GjzM

In any case, emphasizing surface-level hypocrisies is usually not very helpful, certainly not when dealing with the American Right. The danger to democracy is not the hypocrisy – it’s the underlying political project to which conservatives are fully and consistently committed.
“Polarization” is a dodge for those in the mainstream media who remain addicted to false balance and moral equivalence. Instead of pointing to one party’s descent into radicalism, they advance the false idea that both parties are becoming extreme. https://t.co/xw3D5r1FEw
