Let's be honest, Democrats helped create Trump by lying and gaslighting. Obama lied and gaslit everybody on numerous occasions throughout his presidency. Don't believe me? Go on any political factchecking website. They'll show you. Look at what the Democratic establishment's excuse is after the debate, "Trump lied". Well...Biden lied too. Just less. 30 to 9 is one fact checker's count. If you're going to make the argument that the other guy is a liar, well you shouldn't lie at all. Your argument shouldn't be, "I lie less and my lies are less egregious. I only lied 9 times to you, Trump lied 30 times to you." Yes, Trump is a pathological liar on a scale we haven't seen. Yes, he very well might be a complete sociopath. It amuses me how his lying sociopathic behavior creates a perception of authenticity. Leftists can get upset about the "both-sideism", but it would be more productive to not give Trumpists many ways to call both-sideism in the first place. It would be more productive to admit past mistakes and talk about ideas to correct them. The truth is that Democrats come up with enough lies to lose all credibility in a court of public opinion and engage in denialism whenever they get frightened. Joe Biden seeking a second term was clearly a mistake, let's see how many are publicly willing to own up to it. I won't hold my breath. More important to be a "team-player" than speak the truth.
