The Comfort of False Equivalence
There’s a seductive kind of cowardice masquerading as wisdom in modern discourse: the insistence that all extremes are created equal. It’s what allows the centrist to shrug and say, “Well, both sides are dangerous,” as though morality and method exist on a balanced scale, and history is simply a record of shared mistakes. For MAGA, this rhetorical laziness isn’t just useful. It’s strategic.

      You can try to shift the blame to others all you want. The truth is you only have yourself to blame though.

      Our politics are influenced by Russia, China, Australian and South African billionaires, but it is our people who voted according to that influence.

      Even if you blame Americans for influencing, your people are still voting for it.
