Right-wing lawmakers are proving increasingly willing to force potentially divisive votes.

    I agree that both sides do shitty things, but they’re no where near equivocal.

    • Democrats impeached Trump for withholding aid to Ukraine in an attempt to blackmail his political opponent, and then again for inciting an insurrection when he lost the election.
    • Republicans are trying to impeach Biden because he’s a Democratic, while they’re trying to normalize impeachment to downplay how serious it is so Trump’s previous impeachments don’t look so bad for the next election.

    Implying that both sides suck equally is dangerous. It’d be like a kid saying “My parents made me eat my vegetables, they suck. Also the guy that broke into my house and tried to stab my family sucks. All adults suck.”
