Only two times in PC history that I can recall where both sides condemned the actions of a person.
1) That dipshit Republican politician who said women can stop pregnancies that resulted from rape.
2) The George Floyd killing.
In one case both sides condemned a sitting Republican politician the other they condemned a police officer and conservatives typically take the side of law enforcement in officer involved shootings.
But the left seems incapable of introspection these days. It's always "deflect to Republicans!"
What happened when we were discussing white farmers in South Africa being targeted and murdered while the government was looking to forcibly take away their lands? You had dipshits like Some Rogue who downplayed the shit out of it and screamed "But Trump" every other post. You had dipshits like sellstuff1 actually refer to the situation as "complicated."
The left is only capable of introspection when it comes to condemning people for not being woke enough. Teenager helps kids who parents who murdered by violent criminals? The "woke" response is to of course attack the girl and threaten her life.
Stephen King said awards should go to the best director and not factor race into it? Of course that's not the woke answer! Attack him!
JK Rowling says it's not right to say transmen are women because they don't have the lived experiences of women? Of course that's not the woke answer! The woke answer is to allow men to completely destroy women's identity!
I think the closest we got to bipartisan condemnation on an issue was when those Hillary Clinton supporters assaulted and mocked a black homeless woman who was a Trump supporter. ONE Democrat said no one on the left needed to condemn the actions of the Hillary supporters because everyone should just know that everyone disagrees with their actions.
But how can we say that anymore given the current state of the left? They open vilify everyone who isn't 100% on board with their crazy shit and condemnations are few and far between. Just look at this whole "defund the police" shit. Sure you have a Democrat here and there say it's a bad idea, but you have very few Democrats openly saying the idea is insane, even though it obviously is insane.
Do you think CNN is going to do an interview with the teenager and praise her for her work and say how brave she is? Of course not, doesn't fit the narrative.
Do you think MSNBC is going to run a segment on the death threats and say how they're wrong? Of course not, doesn't fit the narrative.
Do you think Joe Biden is going to get in front of a camera and condemn his supporters for attacking the teenager for the good work she is doing? Of course not, doesn't fit the narrative.
